Let's Get It Together.
In the inner city of Los Angeles you grow up fast and you see a lot of things. Things that young children aren't supposed to see. Things like this have affects on there lives because it's hard to process what's going on at an young age.
At 10 years old I was shot at by some unknown people. I was coming home from basketball practice and as I got out the car bullets started coming from every which way. I ran in the house not really knowing what's going on.
This is just an example of what our kids go through everyday until this day. This is what messes with our young children. They see this and most of the time they follow it because they think it's cool.
We don't show examples of what to do, instead we teach how to be gang members and hold a gun. We will teach the kids what color they are supposed to be loyal to and won't teach them how to read or write at the next level. The young adults are who the children look up to and we have to do a better job with making and impact on their lives. The communities have to do a better job of having people lead by example so the kids can have knowledge on what to do. This can go real far to start the changes we need to have in the inner city communities in not just Los Angeles, the inner cities around the United States.
Instead of sitting around doing nothing, let's make a change in our communities be helping the kids do better.
