I'll be honest, Chris, our guest speaker from the Street Outreach Services at Cedars on Tuesday, was quite intimidating to me, with his very loud voice and his tatoos and everything. I shouldn't stereotype but that's just honestly how I felt. I wasn't intimidated by his message, I could handle all the stuff about meth and picking and all that, although it was even more than I've seen on even CSI and NCIS (two of my favorite television shows). I thought it was awesome how Chris said he goes and eats lunch at the Matt Talbot Kitchen frequently and that's how he gets into contact with people so he can talk with them and get them help if they want it. I think he can definitly relate to them more than most of us because he said he's been there, done that (gotten in trouble with the law for drugs and/or alcohol and had run ins with the police, been to AA, etc.) It made me wonder if someone who hasn't been in similar situations could ever do a job like Chris's. I think it would be really hard to do his job, in general, but even harder if you hadn't had some of your own personal experiences in the area. I don't know if people would be as likely to listen to what he had to say and to open up to him about their problems. I just don't know.
