Spending a year volunteering in a homeless shelter is likely to make Miguel redefine his own identity to include a responsibility to combat the misfortunes of others.

Miguel is not likely to attribute homelessness to personal or individual factors as he would have observed the complex social and economic factors that contribute to homelessness. He may also become aware of the social injustices surrounding homelessness, but being overwhelmed or desensitized to them is less likely than developing a sense of responsibility to take action.
