From watching "Story From The Street". It really changed my perspective of how I look at homeless people, in reality, theirs so many of them and sometimes we just assume that these people are on drugs or have a alcohol problem etc. But that's not the case, some of them like John from "Story From The Street," fought for our country.
- here you mention the fact that John's story changed your perspective on the homeless, which means before watching this you thought of the homeless in a certain way- what way is that? Keep in mind for your final article you a writer for the LA times so when you consider this question, answer it not just from your personal experience and thoughts but how we as a society consider the homeless- homeless stereotypes.  
-also, if you are going to mention John in your final article as an example of someone who doesn't fit the stereotype then you are going to want to detail his story more so that your audience reads a story that moves them like that video did 


People don't even realize what these people went through?
-this seems like a good topic sentence on a section talking about homeless stereotypes and how they can negatively effect us into not interacting and/or helping the homeless
-develop this more
-also consider how this can fit before your section talking about John as an example of what someone who challenges the stereotype looks like 

me personally I've always been giving to the homeless, I just always think about my family when I see a homeless person, because who knows it could be one of your aunts, uncles, cousins etc. You just always have to think like that, but then on the other hand you never know? you might give the wrong homeless person money and you could be encouraging them to go buy drugs.
-this is an interesting insight you offer since it is personal to you.  Not everyone thinks this way, that it could be them.  This thought process allows you to be more compassionate towards the homeless and yet at the same time you acknowledge the fact that some homeless do really need more help because they take advantage 
- I can see the second part being its own section considering the reality of those homeless that do in fact fit the stereotype 


So I just feel some of these homeless people could be very humble, we just don't give them a chance, why? because we rather judge them for how they look and fear that they might try to hurt you. When they just really want someone to hold a conversation with them, 
-it seems like the focus/position of your paper is addressing negative stereotypes of the homeless and how that affects our interaction with them
-what sources and information can back you up and how can you further develop this idea using the notes from above?
