From Homeless to High School Graduate

This story is about a girl named Zairia Benjamin who was living a simple life until that all turned around one day. This happened one day when Zairia  and her mom were coming  home and they saw that she had a eviction notice on their door the notice said that Zairia's mom hasn't paid her rent, but Zairia had proof that her mom paid for her rent so they evicted them anyway. Zairia and her mom took a taxi to her grandmother's apartment which was in the Bronx. Her grandmother welcomed them, but the apartment was too small for Zairia, her mother, and her brother. So they all went to go stay in the system's Emergency Assistance Unit (EAU). Zairia says "It was horrible. There was a whole bunch of people sleeping on the floor". They gave them blankets to sleep on her mother didn't sleep she watched them go to sleep cause if you all went to sleep they would steal your stuff.
