dream what they see themselves becoming. that strategic mistake makes you think more long term rather than the short term what athletes are told to picture making the shot before they take the shot and i think that the same thing is true for the rest of us we have to picture what our goal is is looking like and not just pick an arbitrary goal but what do we want our life to look like and then create a plan to get there and we can help kids do better but it's a learning and it's in their hands that's a lesson every kid should learn and those sort of stuff the responsibility i can make sure that i know world poverty and my kids in the loop are weak if i do the right thing.

hello my name's wendy 18 years old i go to school and i am a senior this year there was 8 of us don't live together there is a 3 bedroom house there was a lot of trouble when the economy had and everything my parents both they both had lost their jobs it was kind of hard for us to even mike. my life even though i'm still free and reduced lunch now. and always have my little brother house. and there was. my sophomore year and i was 15. i was on a journey with our p.c. and coming back. from there i just started noticing that i was feeling different all of a sudden like you're either believe or you're pregnant and i was like i don't think i'm bullying big. like i eat all the time as i like while i watch

a pregnancy test and i was like what it is kind of like that or and so like there's a pregnancy test that came out positive then just kind of fried the my mom told me what any other parent would say to their kid she said you're going to be fine we're going to get through this no matter what happens. what am i going to do how am i going to finish school how am i going to do any of us at all . just. terrified out of my mind. it turns out that in the u.s. right now an awful lot of children are being born to young parents and parents who are not married to each other that is about 50 percent of the birth the youngest generation in other words about half of the birth and the youngest generation are

babies born outside of marriage to typically quite young parents we have normal over the years by doing careful study with kids who are from single parent families generally education. themselves and. older they also have. been kids who come from married couples a. lot of our kids were with their married parents live for their whole child with their married parents that also critically injured who still do better in school we were likely will college and even the whole family composition is changed dramatically over the last 3 or 4 decades we are in single parent families waves who are kids are worried with both their parents i think americans will figure this out single parents alone have high stress levels.

because it gets them because they're single parents. as teenagers we have these adult so we feel like. but we're very valuable isn't that we're still children or way our emotions go up and down and. kids are making these very tough decisions around friends and peer groups and they're making a lot of decisions around relationships and who they're voting in love with and the intimacy with those people and it's just this kind of like these tough things like what really is a lot of kids in poverty. i never thought i would. ever play because i was i am i still am training did i do so much charity work so much community service or everyone at school is like the spring business you the smart one and she even got one from her family is a shiva church girl i never thought this would happen. you don't think from one night. it's going to pop out 9 months later you just think oh i have it once you're

going to 5. and a half. and know when you see the picture blue your whole world just. turned upside down. and when you talk about participating in risky behavior whether we're talking about having sex doing drugs drinking watching pornography whatever it is getting involved in social media and becoming really addicted to whatever device it is that you're using if we're talking about any of those risks to be i think it's important to consider. the outcomes of those that it's important to consider that we're not living for just this month we have a child don't fall into the teen pregnancy.

you're married before. all the academics are. finally. pregnant. literally take 3 steps back and i think it's. intelligent. strategy. as an emotional. always been a daddy's girl i would go to him for everything. and .

you're not going to announce anything you're not going to have a future anymore because i decided to keep my son. broke me. and we as a society have lied to you we've been dishonest. because what we have said. is that you can behave any way that you choose you can make any decision or choice that you want to make whatever you feel this this day you can make those kinds of decisions and we will do the best that we can to alleviate the consequence but the fact is we cannot alleviate the consequences it is true that you make your own decisions you can choose any of these paths that you want to choose but we are being dishonest to you when we say we can help you avoid consequences there are consequences for the choices that you know having sex outside of marriage is not going to fill the void that you're trying to fill it only creates more and more of

a vast open and deep within you because you are opening yourself in the most mourner of a way to another human being who is in no way committed to and his whose actions are really out of selfishness unlikely and a desire to meet a need that day. the day i had him i started getting ready i started getting pain and then by the time i got there they told me it was too late for me to get better i'm just bawling my eyes out of like i don't know what to do i've never done this and whenever he got there. i was scared the 1st time i change just. like i care to change the diaper it will finish but what do you mean you can't just type of like i can do the i am fix tina i can do this i cannot support for him i had. just call work and raise

a child. this precious little boy mile at me and i'm thinking i can't do this at all the only thing going through my head was i cannot do that. if you find yourself pregnant at 15 there is no easy option for you you can choose to have an abortion and that is not an easy option it leaves damage for the rest of your life for you and for your family. having a child at 15 leeds all kinds of issues because now you're not just a typical high school kid you're responsible for another human being you're going to have to find a way to bring in candy you're going to have to tend to a sick baby in the middle of the not when you have homework and you have to get up early and go to class yourself and then your other option would be to place your baby for adoption which is the most difficult decision i've ever seen

a young person it is a wonderful choice and it is often the best choice for that child but it is heart wrenching and extremely difficult so once you find yourself in an unplanned pregnancy we can't take away those consequences and you now have very difficult decisions to me. so i have my little brother you. will be about to be doing it for. me wake up at 6 in the morning around 7 and i will wake up my little brother and mother around 720 i will get matthew ready for my sisters at 730 take my little brother to squat 730 i get to school and i'm racing. rushing to get there i get out of school i want 30 and i was going to work out to get off or i have found my sister i play with matthew for the 30 minutes but i have and then i go and whenever i get my 30 minute lunch break. to the thinking

go to my sister's house and spend time with then go back and then i get out of work around 9 i got up and off wave after wave i are working on my homework at around 1030 and i hear free coffee better value one of. the slogans bluto them so moving. to build your hoover local was before. much of those who heard it's a preview of the most you ever see him we will. we will. move. move. move show you this new video of the liberal media since the glitter good. more than just love most of these girls will give you films for good girls. don't go to shows

look but look the same you want me to show the story to the you should go. to starbucks to hold us to it to needed so it would be a little mist don't say look it is it's. just testing understand just means it's there mashed on. a stick to present your complete speech from this project to . those we have producers to ghost whisperer to snoop to come up with a new look because those are the girls who are to sort your supporters to your machine station shouldn't for you should put door for the one who's doing business .

today the industry prefers to spend millions of euros in you know being to do daily conditions i will be sniffing a lot making money making profits in some of the big corporations international markets import export do you imagine the number of currently diseases that are in every community today it is not due to new viruses all new microbes practice is not true so it is due to environment. not going to say you know that moment or just

simply that this sort of muscles are really just accumulate could only come in to see the new to the side in the list that. diplomacy the sky if the so food industry is successful it will create more jobs it will create more value added it will create more growth so i don't see why we shouldn't also fight for the interest something into st outset that we have regulation we want regulation has in just any freedom behaves zinnias penalty just fine. so what i would say to a 15 year old is. i apologize that would have convinced me. that you are lazy but you are in that you are incapable maybe you are selfish because i don't believe any of those things and. i believe the. you

purpose i believe that greatness is only. believe that you bring value into other people's lives and bring value into the lock in this child if you choose to hear that it's not going to be the same and when you have failed and it is now our job to come along and support to enable you to make better choices go. my mama watch the 1st. and i want to tell their. thank you mom i love. and. love differently. you want to show her love by watching him. taking care of me making sure how to look for my head. she told me for the 1st time i know i never tell you this often but i'm so proud of you. you are working for. me that i was a gift. from me to get

a message saying i'm proud of you and everything. everything that. was the best. this is what i have been working. for i'm proud of. there's a group of villagers working the fields by river when someone in the crew noticed a baby floating down the street. one of the men rushed into the water rescued the baby and brought it to sure but before he could recover a number of babies were trying floating downstream. there's a steady flow of babies floating down the river and the whole village was involved . in the rescue efforts pulling babies out of the water and making sure they were

made safe but not all of them could be. some are pulled under by the raging river whether slipped through the villagers hands while others fell back into the water as the villagers tried to save them. the villagers were saving as many babies as they could but before long they became exhausted from all their effort. frustrated controversy erupted. when a group argued that every possible hand was needed downstream to help rescue the babies they didn't have everyone's help they would lose too many downstream. the other group argued that every possible hand was needed upstream think of find out how the babies were getting into the water they could save all of them in a limb and ate the needs of the costly and time consuming efforts downstream.

to find out how these babies are falling into the river in the 1st place we can stop this and no more babies will drown if we go upstream we can eliminate the cause of the problem. but it's too risky some said might fail or take too long. to lose too many lives. away to the ones we've lost and our future children to fix the problem upstream and save the one else falling into their hands. a drug from a separate water fountain used in texas well how much. ok what was different about the water. coming out of that found.

the view of the mountain that was of the post. that grew up i realize most. people feel completely. all that life. based around them. when you. you know there are 2 ways to address poverty one is to try to prevent it from ever occurring in the 1st place and the 2nd is if it does occur to a 1000000 right you know provide people with assistance with child care with out thing that has to be but has to be. you have to help those who are in need now and you have to help those might be huge and in order to do both you have to not only work downstream but you know through the circumstances that got us where we are are

unique and so our approach to every person every stanley and poverty needs to be is unique as that person and that family and that's difficult to do and it's a little overwhelming to think about but people are different it's interesting looking back historically on what we've done to address poverty in the united states it's mostly been to provide people with assistance of various kinds and those things are needed i think we should not leave people destitute and without such assistance bob there's not a lot of evidence that those things are going to move people out of poverty except temporarily i don't think americans are in favor of simply redistributing income what they want is to provide everyone an opportunity to get ahead on their own we believe in equality of opportunity not equality. result.

i went to a conference once the conference was an opportunity conference where we invited 74 families from our community and hopes to just allow a pathway to cycle out of poverty majority of the people in this conference were generational poverty so they came in and they heard from dr beagle are her story and were encouraged it was 6 hour program and she would say how many of you know what it is to have a disconnect notice how many of you know what it is to receive an eviction notice and before long arms were coming up and she allowed them to see that if i can do it you can too we all have hope with this sometimes just gets buried so i had the opportunity to visibly see hope rise to the surface of 74 people and that's not something that you can contain we knew you can't contain hope i left this place with hope and i'm going to tell everybody about it i want them to know what i know

and i'm going to succeed because people came in the room they didn't know me and i matter i wasn't born. i am hard. right i'm no longer in this isolation where i'm irrelevant or i have to walk around and lead with this label of shame little by little the hope starts to take that label off and when people come into place you're able to replace that label with words of worth instead of allowing that person to feel. we all are the same when it comes to what our basic needs are and what our basic desires are and i think if we really think about what we have in common with one another that's where we can start to create a basis of understanding a person saying i. i'm not going to judge you i'm not going to criticize you i'm

not going to do you value your lived experience because it's different than my you say to the other human being what ever. dream you've ever had is still. when i was growing up. like there were a few kids that were completely off. and there were a few kids that were trying really hard to make good choices and really had their focus at where it needed to be but most of us are somewhere in this gray area where we're trying to get our toes as opposed to the one as we can without completely stepping over but we weren't really convicted either way we're just all kind of trying to get get. what i see now is that there are more kids off the rails. there are very few kids in this area. but there

are a lot of young people who are committed who are strong who are focused who want to make good. and who are making an impact on the people around. that is my hope for the next generation. and that hope comes from the stories that we tell that hope comes from us saying to our scholars you can do this we're going to stand by we're going to help you get through this day after the power to turn the ship around and. make good decisions after that. one of the bigger you have to realize that if you do.

20 for a compound interest of things that like we're going to take you to places that you can't even understand what you do today is going to play more compound interest that anything else you're playing a game that's bigger than yourself you're playing a game for yourself or your family's name or your kids that don't even exist yet for your grandkids who are going to benefit off of the hard work you put into that . not all poverty is preventable but we know certainly that based on research and the research that we're using for our programs some of that can be preventable we want to help them we want to help the community around us nat's what we're trying to rally our community around and support a lot of times when i work with people who currently live in the crisis of poverty they'll say i'm not smart enough to get a skill not smart enough to go to college to ask for help you got to ask for help in poverty shoot don't ask for help. that's the wrong message. nobody makes it

alone absolutely no one we have to work together we have to overlap with other organizations we have to be community biting is the key is allowing hope but we can't allow hope we can't communicate we can't allow worth until there's relationship if we can spark a movement that not only helps those who are in the river but also gives them the tools to help their kids in their kids' kids not be in the river that's the movement we want only reach out to people across. these barriers of poverty barriers of political opinions. we can really find some unique treasures in people who are different from months and find out that they're not so different after all.

because the banks are getting so much free money from the government they don't want to take even any risk on any small to medium sized enterprise or anyone looking to buy a house because why take any risk at all if the government just going to stuff trillions of dollars on your balance sheet. problem drugs don't do is come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we've seen the very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids it invaded america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she just goes at their dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer so who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers all the governments of.
