8:49 pm
create an opportunity where people say that we could hope to work to find other children in the father's neighborhoods primarily in home where i started up as bball it's to teach them how to harness that energy and maintain that energy into their adulthood so then they can continue like i said to do some of the things that i've done if not hopefully take it further and further and further down the. line. there will be one also right now is a war. if you lose it should be people every day out there read they are going to stick my life in philly put up. this i'm on and that's the number of law who is show us in the woman who would remain. i saw mother who got to in time to see what mothers have to very deeply and that's just the thing isn't as is this plane is i
