2. I visited the Cal Poly Library last Tuesday and found a whole plethora of books that were specifically about homeless youth (some even specifically about HY around the world). I've started reading a book called, "Children Living in Temporary Shelters" and this has provided me with a lot of insight on how to proceed with my science fair project because it helps me build a foundation for my study. It helps with my senior project because it provides me with information on how big of a role shelter plays in a childs life, which could be one of my answers to my EQ (having shelter).
3. Unfortunately, I have to post this blog assignment from my phone and uploading a picture or adding a label aren't an option but so far from this book I have learned:
- The book is focusing on children living in shelters in America
- The main study of this book, conducted by Alice M. Epps, is on how homelessness effects childrens' perception of home
- There is a difference between children on the street and children of the street, which I defined in my presentation
- This study will highlight and take into account the following issues of health issues, school problems, race, and child development
- Also for the sake of the study a family isdefined as unit of one parent or legal gaurdian with on dependent child (under the age of 18)
