In journalism class we read a story about A boy named Brent, written by Matthew Tully. We read about how some kid named Brent was abandoned by his mother who was a crack addict. When Brent got older he found out that he didnt have a record, no social security number, and he didn't know who he was.
It made me think about how other people are going through the same thing and they have no life. In the story Brent cannot get a license, and cannot get a college education.
It stinks how people have to go through this, and can't do anything because they don't know who they really are.
But the story Brent is able to find his mom and find out the rest of his information such as his birthdate, social security number, etc. This made me think that what if people are trying so hard and the government cannot do anything for them.
Stinks.....
