 Between learning difficulties and being unhoused, Berkeley resident Jonathan King shares his story of trying to succeed within a broken system. I was taking some classes but I had to drop them in my medical condition and they's not got me no books and got nothing and I can't stay like that with my learning differences. I think there's just been a systemic failure on so many different levels that you can't really pinpoint it to one or two. That's how I feel the City and County programs are. No one listens to you and they want you to listen to them. School enrollment is just one of the many things Jonathan has faced excessive difficulties in. I don't have organized home or nothing so I can't really be successful because they understand all the success I ever had in life is because people gave me places that were organized and structured. It's really hard to take some of the steps out of survival into things like school and other things that you can follow through on when you're outside. Exploring what it means to be a neighbor to all Berkeley residents may be the first step we as a city can take to foster a more welcoming community in our hometown. I just want to say that these type of people that come and show these blessings with food and everything you come around you don't have nothing you can come have a conversation maybe 30 minutes conversation that's good enough. As far as little things and big things we can do every day the little things is just you know acknowledge people so just like looking at someone giving them a smile saying hello good morning that can really make a huge difference in someone's day.
