You Just Ruined My Breakfast
by Jordan Henderson
You just ruined my breakfast.
This is not the most pleasant thing to hear when one sits down to eat. Yet as I sat down in the McDonald’s to eat my breakfast that morning in downtown Los Angeles, this was the first thing said to me by a man at a nearby table. You just ruined my breakfast.

Ours is Not to Judge
by Katrina Bandeli
First impressions are the most important; we only get one chance to show the world who we are. For many this first impression is lost, and second impressions are rarely given a chance, because of being in the wrong place at the wrong time and ending up in unpleasant situations, such as homelessness. When many of us come across those who are homeless, we assume that they must be drug addicts, alcoholics, or have some mental disability; after all why else would they be there? We view them as dirty, uneducated, mean, and lazy. Without realizing it, we cause ourselves to fear our brothers and sisters in Christ through false assumption. We walk past many who are in need, without a care, concluding it is their fault for being in that situation, and we have nothing to do with them. “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”(Matthew 7:1-2). Many have simply been through some misfortunes, and getting help is out reach. On the contrary help is just one person away. We have to be willing to help, and not just through OYO but everyday, when we pass someone less fortunate.
