So this week's @bloghomework topic is, " If you could run your own business, what would it be? (or if you already do, tell us about it!)"
I guess, I wouldn't really call it a business, as it'd be more of a non-profit thing...but when I was younger I had always wanted to open up a dual homeless shelter/animal shelter. One where you don't just give homeless people a place to sleep for the night, but one where you would even help them find a job, and an apartment. And I think for some people, maybe having an animal companion can go a long way towards helping them emotionally, so that's where the animal shelter part would also come in. It would give these people the option to adopt should they find an apartment and are able to. I didn't have it all thought through when I was younger, but that's the basis of what I wanted to do. Homelessness is a big problem here in the United States, and it really breaks my heart to see it. I've always been that girl who wants to take in all the stray animals, and when I see a homeless person, if I had the money I'd want to buy them a room for the night so they don't have to be out there on the street. I, myself, have not been homeless...But I've had friends who were, and I would help them out and give them a place to stay. I've lived the hotel life, and for some, that's fine. But I know that feeling of just wanting a place to call your home, and that feels like your home. And for some people, just a place to sleep soundly for the night without worry. And I feel like here in San Antonio, we could use another homeless shelter majorly...so if I were ever able to actually do this, I'd open it up here in San Antonio...or somewhere in California.
So that would be my "business". Or a lil' headshop/café haha :)
