In a city plagued with the epidemic of homelessness and poverty, Ben Styles takes a deeper look into the lives of a few affected. What was the determining factor of leading such a lifestyle? Bad decisions? Drugs? A toxic concoction of both? What’s the difference between a hobo and a homeless person? During a time where many may pretend to be oblivious to such a putrid reality, Ben approaches and embraces their agony. Check out the trailer for The Forgotten below!

I feel saying too much may ruin the affect of this powerful film. Then again, after watching it you may reflect as I did. What would you do for the love of money?… A single question that can define your life’s motivation and desires. We are often blinded temporarily by material goods while devaluing the timeless. Stay mindful.

On Monday, me and 20 other bloggers got the opportunity to have a little conference call with the media personality, Tavis Smiley for Part 1 of the discussion. He answered some of the boiling questions of poverty, elderly, and much more. Join the conversation via twitter as well, with the hashtag #RemakingAmerica.

I can remember very little about my years in high school. Other than playing team sports, teenage hormones, and art, it wasn’t a choice for me not to graduate. I didn’t quite understand how minimum wage worked, but I saw that fast food didn’t lead to wealth. And as a kid, there were a lot of things I wanted!
I’m unsure where, or when, I developed this early understanding of the socioeconomic status, but I just knew I wanted more. To get more, meant to graduate with a decent GPA and score well enough on the SATs to get into a college. I wasn’t sure what I would major in. I just wanted to live better and had an understanding that education would help me achieve my goals.
