Homeless of Liz Murray and Murray Barr

Elizabeth Murray has been homeless since she was born by her parent were cocaine addicts who spent most of the family’s money on feeding their habits. By her age 15, she was homeless and her mother had died of AIDS, and her father was on the streets. She told her mother that she made her vows to herself that her life would be different life, and made her decision that the best way to avoid that to go back to school, but she accepted at Humanities Preparatory Academy as public high school which they did not know she is herself as homeless. She did become more intelligence student and loved to learning she can do. At last, she finally accepted to enter into Harvard University after her 15 different of scholarships already awarded.
Liz felt her parent made her feel loved and understood that her parent had disease that prevented them from giving her more than they did. Her father, with whom she is close and has developed AIDS,. Liz does not feel she has moved past of her childhood rather she stayed her part of everything about who she is. She has learned from her experiences and looked her new life. She now is brilliant and intelligent education and person. She can share with all the people how she felt her experience about her homeless life.
About Murray Barr, I hadn’t known very well about his life, but I do know Liz’s life than Murray. I read his article which is showing no real reason why he was homeless considering he was ex-marine. He just did not like to attempt to make a change his life because he just did not want to help from someone and want to stay on the street till God take his life after he dies. I think that he had no self-control and became his way of life where he was able back to drinking and living on the streets. He would not get a job and save money to live new apartment and be happy, but he does not.
I can see that Liz and Murray were different homeless ‘life. Liz did change her new life and went to Harvard University. Murray does not change his life and what he want to stay on the street which he did turned back and drinking again.
