8:33 pm
>> we do have a lot of sad stories, but we have more good. our good outweighs the bad, you know, and i keep going just for that reason, you know. before i was a little hard on myself, and i used to actually think that i could save all the kids. i know that's not the case. you know, i just do the best that i can do, and i just pray that the next kid doesn't, you know, fall by the wayside. >> how do you not become cynical? do you harden your heart? >> no, actually i have to replenish myself or i'm not going to be any good to them or my own family. these kids are like precious cargo to me. some of them have tough lives. some of them have the responsibility of a 30-something-year-old. they're holding down their homes and they are only kids. no kid should have to go through that. >> 25 years down the road, what do you think camden is going to be like? >> i'm praying that it turns into the camden that i remember,
