If you saw me,you would never guess I was a multi-billionaire under the tattered clothes and the shaggy beard. I'm participating in one of those undercover millionaire projects to see how life is without the luxuries of life for a week. So far I'm on day three of the project and I haven't been so hungry in my life. I also desperately wanted to take a shower to get rid of the dirt and grime that has been accumulating on my body. I became so bad I took a bath in the city park. I went during the middle of the night to avoid the police because another group of hobos tried doing that in the daytime and were hauled away. I couldn't afford to get into any trouble while I still have nothing. However I never thought it would be so risky to have good personal hygiene as a hobo.
Five days since I left my beloved home in Bel-Air. I am almost done but I can't stand the constant hunger pains that bellow from my stomach. During the lunch rush at the diner, I saw a waitress drop a large amount of food and I almost instinctively grabbed for it but I resisted. This desperation for food became really out of hand when I had gotten into a fist fight with another hobo over a piece of meat that would be enough for a snack. Afterwards I felt ashamed for what I had done and gave the meat to the other hobo I am really afraid that these will carry on with me when I leave the streets of L.A. and return to my home.
At last my week is over I can go back to my life of stability and abandon the life of being homeless. My time as a homeless human being gave a new perspective on life that changed me forever never again. I now own about 100 different homeless centers and soup kitchens in the nation. After seeing their lives with my own eyes I don't want to see that life for anyone so I'm prepared to use anything in my power to improve their lives as possible. I am also not going to take life for granted again like I was before my trip to reality.
