I highly recommend educating yourself daily.

But, I want you to read a email I got from a Student at a Magnet School I spoke at. :

I was born April 23, 1991 in New York City, New York. My mother was a single mother of one child untill I came along. My brother’s father became rich and decided he was better on his own. My father had passed away two months before my birthdate. My first memories are about my grandmother. She took care of me while my mother worked and went to John Jay University in Bronx, New York. She was my mother figure untill the age of three when my mother had to stop attending school because she was pregnant with my sister. My Mother was a child of three. My her brother, my uncle, is currently a police officer in Temple Terrace.
 I Attended a community elementary school. I was a A student in all my classes and was in advanced classes. When I was in fifth grade my brother and I always nagged my mother to move us to Florida. We thought it was paradise. When the tragedy of 9/11 took place my mother decided it was time to move. I started junior high school at Farnell Middle School. I was in regular classes and had good grades when I started untill I left for Benito Middle School. We didnt have the money to live where we were to so we moved into a town home on 42nd and Fletcher. There I got involved in teen activities like going to movies and skateparks. When I started eighth grade I was placed in Davidsen Middle School. My mother had found a new job with better pay. She bought a middle class house. Davidsen Middle School was the school in which I was greatly influenced. I started in honor classes but did not do well. I was told I had potential so because I did they wouldn’t lower me to a advance class. I flunked the first try at eighth grade. I was just back from New York in the year of 2005 when I was beginning eighth grade for the second try. My best friend at the time was starting high school at Alonso. When the beginning of the school year started we made some choices that weren’t so good. I had purchased eight hundred dollars worth of clothes to last me for the year. My favorite colors were white. blue, and black. So all my clothes were those three colors. He had met up with some drug dealers who were in a nationwide gang known as Crip. (Crazy Real Insane People) He started to sell drugs for them as a way for him to make money. He was such an influence to me that I began to do the same. One day he asked me if I wanted to join the gang and I thought it was a good idea. We started regretting the time we told them we wanted to join even before we joined. Once we told them we wanted to join , there was no turning back or atleast any way I could besides death. My bestfriend and I were told to fight each other as if the opponent was a rival gang member. We couldn’t do so because we were good friends so instead we faught without trying to win. They were furious and in the middle of the fight they ran towards us and punched my friend in the face and me on my back. The member who hit me was the General or the guy who lead the gang. While I was on the ground he was kicking at me with steel-toe Timberland shoes. When he sat me up he began to yell at my face curses of all kinds. He drew a switchblade out of his pocket and threatened to kill me but didnt attack me with it. Instead he kicked my face and I blacked out at the moment. When I got up he told us to fight again. Another one of them said we couldn’t fight because we were hurt bad. We got recruited into the gang that day. Being involved with the gang led to bad news with everyone. I stopped doing good in school. My grades went to the lowest they have ever been in my life. I eventually got arrested and charged for a petit theft. I was in Walmart shoplifting a fifty dollar video game on Christmas Eve. That day when I was wearing the hand cuffs on my wrist and sitting in the sheriff’s car, I realized I was going the wrong way. It was a revelation for me. I was sitting in the car and it was dark. No light was around anywhere because it got late. I was looking at the handcuffs and I saw a bright light reflecting back. I had no idea what it was reflecting from. I thought it was a sign from God to be honest with you. I decided I was tired of claiming to be an atheiust and decided to be reborn as a new creation. All my wrong doings were done.
 The year of 2006 began and I was alone with no friends because I stopped my contact with everyone who was of bad influence to me. Which was everyone I knew.I had to make new friends that would benefit me in a positive way. I began attending The Manifestation Church with some friends from school. After a month or so they discontinued going so I had to find a different church. I started attending at C.F.O.C the church that changed my life. (Christian Family Outreach Center) They taught me how to be a christian in my everyday life. They taught me almost everything I know about Christianity in general. Finally I began to attend Without Walls International Church because my girlfriend’s mom wanted to check the church out and see if she liked it. We did both and now we go there weekly. I’m now enrolled in the Academy of Hospitality at D.W.Waters Career Center. I decided to do Real Estate not too long ago. I read the book that was given to everyone at Without Walls. It’s Why We Want You To Be Rich by:Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki. I liked the idea of investing rather than saving. I figured investing in houses and buildings would be the most rewarding so I chose it as my career. The best part is I love the idea because I can work for myself and be my own boss. I take full control of what im spending money on, what im getting money for and how much.
