Senior Thesis Title:  Why Homelessness Will Forever Be A Problem

Senior Thesis Statement: We will never be able to completely eradicate homelessness simply because of people’s free will and limited resources.

Brief Description of Senior Thesis: Some people choose to be homeless because to them it seems to be the only option. After observing how other countries have attempted to fix visible homelessness and failed we can learn from their mistakes. People of all ages and backgrounds are able to help prevent and reduce homelessness by very simple acts of service such as volunteering at a homeless shelter, donating food and clothing, or by educating themselves on this issue.

Favorite Bible Verse: “And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” (Matthew 6:30-34)

Prayer Request:  That I find a godly group of friends and a supportive community. Pray that I have the strength to stand firm in my faith, resist any temptations that may come my way, and find a welcoming church or campus ministry to attend. Pray that I do not have strong feelings of homesickness or sadness when thinking of my friends that are not with me in person. As well as pray that I feel clarity and confidence with God’s purpose in my studies and career.
