My title should say it all. I have chosen this title because I have seen what these three things can do to a young impressionable kid. The lure of easy money, acting cool,dressing like no one can touch you! carrying a weapon, and defying anyone who assorts authority.
I remember my first week last year. This was not my only experience, now I remember going to my next class and being stopped on purpose in the hallway, and a student whom I never saw or have spoken to said " Do you know me man " I replied no!
he said OK you will get to know me ask around. This student apparently doesn't know me and was trying to scare me into believing he is a gangster,"Gangsta". OK I walked to my next assignment and didn't pay it no mind. A few weeks later I had this student in my class, well he really is a "$#@^&&" you know what I mean so I gave this student my speech, he listened and could not believe what I have done and gone through in my life. We kind of connected and I gave him some good advice he really took it to heart and changed his life I would see him and talk to him at school or at his job that got him away from the gang life style. "Truth" If you can reach one kid and make a difference than it is totally worth more than "GOLD" . peace RL
