These homeless children are constantly moving from school to school due to their family needing to travel around to finds jobs and lodging.

Because of this constant moving to different schools their education is being damaged.

With the federal law of the Mckinney-Vento homeless Assistance Act established in 1987 in response to the reports that only 57% of homeless children were enrolled in school (White), progress was starting to take effect in finding solutions to the crisis of homeless youth in education. Currently, this act goes to address the needs of homeless youth required by law. Because of this, school districts have decided to focus on the three critical problems influencing these youths. By eliminating barriers of enrollment, attendance, and success in schools many educators have decided that these specific provisions would be the most beneficial to these students (White). This act further went to provide homeless children the right to remain in the same

Unstable low income jobs are one of the biggest reasons as to why college students are homeless. These are the only jobs many college students can get and the hours are not very practical for a college schedule. Many decent jobs do not hire students who just graduated high school, they typically want students who have just graduated

Federal law defines children and youth who are homeless as individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence (McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act 2009; as cited in Rahman, Turner, Elbedour, 2015). Homeless students can be classified as either sheltered or unsheltered according to HUD Point in Time. These students may be referred to as mobility students.

Finally, even though they were all first generation students they still knew from the very beginning that they would graduate college. The advice that I would give future current-generation students is to not focus on the successes or the lifestyles of their peers and make their own paths. In college you truly will meet so many people who will be going down the wrong paths, or not exhibiting behaviors that you would think but just avoid the partying as much as possible; or if they do decide to party and stuff just to always put their education first and have their work

In addition, Christopher also highlights the fact that his situation drives him to rely mentally on his mind and thoughts. He is forced to be completely dependent on his head and hands, showing ultimate independence and inner power. The new lifestyle Christopher

I learned what it took to be successful, that I couldn 't just go through the motions. I learned one of the most important lessons of my college career thus far, and it is this- in order to be successful here (at Texas A&M), you must immerse yourself in every lesson, every lecture, every class. Everything must be 100%, and not a second should go to waste. Each moment is a moment to learn and to better yourself and your knowledge. There will be concepts that you just don 't understand, and when that road block is reached, immediate action must be taken; there 's a commonly spoken line that I never really listened to until recently, and that line is, "don 't be afraid to ask for help!"

I have learned to be more responsible and aware of the consequences that my actions cause. My experience with falling behind and making up credits due to my previous choices taught me to be more mindful about how I make decisions, and have driven me to be more goal-oriented and work harder towards my long-term goals. Additionally, I have developed a more flexible mindset which has shaped who I am and has allowed me to make more connections with people and to be open to change even if it's something that I am not used to. I consider my grandma one of my biggest strengths because she was a great supporter and motivator throughout my life. She has been my main motivation to attend college by always encouraging me to do the best I can and giving me

The statistics of homeless youth are rising, but this subgroup of the homeless population remains one of the least understood, most vulnerable, and most convoluted to attain. Once on the street, adolescents are victimized as they are exposed to dangers that equal or exceed the home situations they sought to escape.

I learned that any barrier you face there is always an option to overcome it and be successful. I can grow by working my hardest on my school work and never giving up, even when things get hard. I also learned that time management is a very great skill to obtain at this time in my life, because college courses take time, effort, and lots of patience. I must give myself time to prepare for class work and especially exams. Having a schedule for my school work and my personal life is the best choice to help me stay on track.
