Tired, but need to be busy

Now I am getting pissed at my English teacher, she is now wanting us to interview a homeless or a has been homeless. Fortunately, I have a cousin who used to live on the streets and now lives with his mom (my aunt, though obvious) again, so I can ask him. Anyways, there is one section that I want to do in my group essay. I hope I can show some people there actual perspectives of the poor/homeless.
