Letters from a Homeless Teen Part 3
- Letters from a homeless teen
When I was young, my grandmother taught me 3 skills to make money and I have used two of them all my life to make hundreds of thousands of dollars. Those skills are cleaning and selling. No matter what job I have had, these two skills have made me an invaluable resource to the companies I work for and with. From cleaning a mini mansion and earning $200 for a day’s work to selling clothing at a retail chain on commission, I can always make a decent wage and be self sufficient.
We must teach children basic skills they can build upon, master and capitalize on when they are young. Practice makes perfect and mastery equals better pay for services rendered.

Please share your thoughts about early entrepreneurship and enlightened mentorship as ideas for homeless prevention. Street newspapers are excellent micropreneurship opportunities. Teens can learn the ins and outs of sales and distribution and even move into writing and editing if the have a passion for the written word. Most teens I know love poetry and this could be their in.
Letter from a Homeless Teen Series Part 1
Last year several of my friends and I set out to put a dent in the homeless teen population in Detroit. We found out some despairing things that we were not aware of concerning this population. The one thing that wasn’t a secret is that we MUST do something to prevent teen homelessness and I believe early entrepreneurship training and enlightened mentorship are the answers. I’ll tell you more about my thoughts later in this series but for now, this is your first of thirty-nine letters from a homeless teen that we were able to give housing, food and clothing for six months. She was asked to journal each day about whatever crossed her mind. Join the dialogue about how we can help end teen homelessness.
