Summary of Homeless by Choice

HOMELESS BY CHOICE by Mislina Mustaffa .

After reading a part of the book "Homeless by choice" , my perspective for the homeless is totally different. First of all, not all the homeless is negative people. Some of them are on their own choice. They sold all their belonging just to be travel all the places. It is rare situations that happens because the Malaysian's people does not have an open minded about homeless by own choice. In my opinion, being a homeless can make us discover more about new things that we cannot get from house. Last but not least, new experience , meet any type of people make us more know about the reality of life.

Not like university, we need to manage the time properly or not you will loss in academic. Moreover, to adapt in new environment and friends also a difficult part because in university friends are the mirror of ourself. Besides, what I love in UTM is the lecturer of FKA. For me, the lecturer is very nice to the students. They treat us like their own children. Give support and time for us. Not like others that talking about the independent of study. It is strongly wrong. Our lecturer always have time to help us I academic. Lastly, the environment of UTM itself . it is eco-campus. I love the nature surrounding which is far away from the busiest town.
