There are so many topics to choose from they all sound and look like good topics but I

want to say the three that caught my eye was smoking. I chose smoking because I have been a
smoker for more than 20 years. I have tried to quit so many times but for some reason I go back
to smoking whenever I get stressed out. My second choice would be homelessness. I have ran a
homeless shelter for the past 8 years. There are many reasons a person or families can become
homeless. Most people assume oh the parents must do drugs or have a drinking problem. When
in fact a lot of people are homeless because of loss of income or a illness of a family member.
My third choice would be depression. My wife has been going through depression for many
years and I cant seem to understand what is the cause is, because we have a good life and my
wife has overcame so many obstacles, she has also had many accomplishments. That is the
reason I cant understand why she is depressed.
