Short Answer
Homeboy industries is an organization that works to give second chances to those who were just let out of prison and former gang members who want to turn their lives around.
This was a compelling read because there aren't many people left who still care about those who have messed up in this world. Not many people want to help those who have caused trouble in their lives and the lives of others. However this organization, Homeboy, is wiling to help these people turn their lives around and become more functioning members of society.
As I read the story, I thought about how great of an organization this is. I wish that I could do this sort of thing and help people out. This makes me feel as though the world is finally figuring out that there are lots of people that need to be helped in this world and this is the beginning of a great organization. I also continued to think about how this could impact the lives of so many people that haven't been given a second chance and deserve one.
