Makes it sound as if you missed college you will be homeless. Maybe it's a misquote. If not then it shows that often the people serving in areas have narrow minds. People get where they are for a lot of reasons. College isn't going to save ya, doesn't even get you a job any more. All in all I'm glad to see the project still thriving and not falling off of the radar. “It’s the same kind of thing that a mom and dad would do for their student,” Marzinko said, “But we have to remember that, for students in homeless situations, their parents have not had college experience.” I have seen this project do a lot of good, a problem with this quote though.

Without their efforts and the school district support - so many young lives would go unrecognized and unsupported. The district work often goes unrecognized because the Project is successful in seeing that homeless students are treated with the same respect and dignity as housed students. They are given the same chances and attention academically while struggling behind the scenes with situations most of us will never comprehend.
