Quotable

“If you are unable to read, you live a life that is filled with shame. You are not able to fill out a job application, so you can’t get job. You have no hope of excelling in high school, let alone even thinking about going to college. Now you are a young teenager, and you have these aspirations because you’re alive, just like anyone else. You see just two miles down the road. children who are well taken care of. You go online, you go on TV, and you see what you don’t have, and you don’t even have the resources to get it. Gangs become your family and your home because that’s a place where you belong.”
