=Reflect on and answer the following questions in an essay:=


 * 1) What is the poverty rate in your state? In your county? Does this surprise you? I do not see poverty everyday where I live. Sometimes, it seems to be rare. But according to websites, the poverty rate in Hillsborough County is rising. The poverty rate Hillsborough County 19% and the state percentage is currently at 17%. According to the statistics, this means every 1 in 5 people live in poverty. To me personally, this surprised me. If you drove somewhere in Hillsborough County, you wouldn't regularly see someone in the state of poverty. But if I put a lot of thought into it, it does seem to be everywhere. I've become more aware of this problem, and I think that I am more willing to help someone in that state because the problem is increasing among our community.
 * 2) What are the ways that you show love and walk humbly in your life with God? I show love by being concerned of those around me that aren't as fortunate as me. I can help by volunteering at certain organizations to be able to benefit the people that live in poverty.
 * 3) How does CCHD show their work for justice? Why does CCHD believe it is important for local groups or communities to be involved in the issues affecting the daily lives of people living in poverty? The CCHD put the people in the state of poverty as their first priority. The CCHD show their work for justice by always giving opportunities to the poor that will benefit them. They do this because the CCHD see the people in the state of poverty as people that have been unfairly chosen to live a life with too many limitations. The CCHD helps the poor so that they will get them back to the state that they used to live in. They don't like to see that because they see it as as something that is unjust and should have never happened because they did not do anything wrong that caused that to happen.
 * 4) What is a good example of a charitable organization in your county or state? What do they do? How are they providing charity in your community?
 * 5) What is a good example of a social justice organization in your county or state? What do they do to provide social justice to the people they server?
