    While sitting in my dorm room watching a DVD, I looked around and suddenly realized how lucky I was. I lived in a decent sized room with lighting and air conditioning that I could adjust to make myself comfortable. Then I thought how even more lucky I was to be able to go home too yet a nicer living facility at my own house that I have to share with nobody but my immediate family. It made me begin to wonder how many people there are that do not possess this luxury. That is when I thought of Habitat for Humanity. The only thing that I knew about it was that they built homes for underprivileged families with inadequate shelter. I wanted to see though exactly how this specific organization made a difference in peoples lives. Hopefully my research will enlighten my readers of the living situations of many families around the world, maybe even convincing some to volunteer themselves.

The structure of the house I liked better than the other two. One was too plain looking, and the other I saw was trying to do much with the front porch well, the one I choose had a small and simple porch. Personally, with a house I wanted a good size back yard. And really none of the houses had big backyards so that was a small attribute about all the houses I didn’t like. Then I calculated the payment for the third house I choose and it came out to be about 980 dollars a month. One of the houses had a cheaper payment but the houses only had 1.75 bathrooms, compared to the other two which were priced higher yet had two complete bathrooms.
