11:30 pm
thank you that's up of this 1000 additional going underground will be back on monday 60 years to the day russia the 1st human in space in history yuri gagarin keep in touch with a lot of social media will feel much. so
11:31 pm
what we've got to do is identify the stretch that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race move his arms off and spearing dramatic development is only going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical current time to sit down and talk. i think one of the worst things as a kid is what you want to do it's not what you want to do it's why do you do the things you do you could design a life that is focused on your why being aware of work as a way of expression people ask me what motivates me every day and i look i'm just being me i started my company because it was an expression of myself i am just painting on a canvas but i think if we can teach them that think of their work and their life as a place to express themselves and then dream what they see themselves becoming having
11:32 pm
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 in their own hands it's in their hands that's a lesson every kid should learn and those sort of step the responsibility i can make sure that i never will be poverty and my kids and i will live in poverty if i do the right thing.
11:33 pm
hello my name is wendy 18 years old i go to a cap from high school and i am a senior this year going up there was a dozen still live together there is a 3 bedroom house there was a lot of trouble when the economy hit and everything my parents both they both had lost their jobs it was kind of hard for us to even like cat food all my life even now i'm still on free and reduced lunch so now. i have really to my little brother house free and reduced lunch and there was 5 of. my sophomore year i was 15. i was on a drill meet with r.b.c. and coming back slowly nauseous from there and the started noticing that i was feeling different all the sudden like you're either believing or you're pregnant and like i don't think i'm believing as i like i eat all the time is i like well i
11:34 pm
watch a pregnancy test and i was like what is is kind of like better and so i did the pregnancy test and they came out positive and just kind of fried and so my mom told me what any other parent would say to their kid just you're going to be fine we're going to get through this no matter what happens. what am i going to do now when my going to finish school how am i going to do any of the set all. just. terrified out of my mind. it turns out 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 and that is about 50 percent of the birth of 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
11:35 pm
have norm and over the years by careful studies the kids who are from single parent families generally get less education than. in themselves have. they also in the past and. then kids who come from there a couple. more of our kids with their married parents live for their whole childhood with their married parents that also can make a huge difference they'll do better in school they'll be more likely will college and even though they might compositions magically over the last 4 decades more kids aren't still families who are kids we're both there so i think americans are going to figure this out single parents alone have high stress levels stigma comes
11:36 pm
against them because they're single parents. as teenagers we have these adult so we feel like we're adults but we're very malleable in the sense that we're still children in a way our emotions go up and down and go where happens is though many kids are making these very tough decisions around friends and peer groups and they're making a lot of decisions around relationships and who their phones love with their intimacy with those people and it's just this kind of like these tough things like what really into a lot of kids in poverty. i never thought i would. ever play because i was i am i thought out a funny bit and i do so much charity work so much community service or everyone at school is like wendy's pain is a shift. and that she even got one from our family isn't she the church girl i never thought that would happen. you don't think from one night. it's going to pop
11:37 pm
out 9 months later you just think oh i have it once here. keep going with 5. and a half. and no when you see the picture blue your whole world just. turned upside down. and when you talk about idea of participating in risky behavior whether we're talking about having sex doing drugs drinking watching pornography whatever it is getting involved in social media. 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 moment we have a child you don't. really think about the cost that it takes to
11:38 pm
be a parent the cost in time the cost in finances and i would encourage you to wait until you're married before you have kids wait until you know you've got that 2nd parent that 2nd income that can help you raise that child what kills me is when i see a kid with all the academics to rock it you know they get these all lazy finally they finally break this glass ceiling where you put all this hard work in their academics and then they get pregnant with their with their high school sweetheart and i think literally just take 3 steps back and i think it's because there's this . motional intelligence we just don't talk about like relationship and the strategy around what you do as an emotional being. always been a daddy's girl i would go to him for everything. and i got pregnant and he distance along he had different views than i did when i told him i was going to
11:39 pm
keep matthew. you're going to keep him. well. i'm not going to keep you like he had to slow me completely. i had matthew on april 26th. i called a month later to see how he was doing. to catch up to see if he wanted to see my son he calls me. he's like i still can't believe you decided to keep him you could have had a future now you're not going to have anything. and it's been built 3 years. and i haven't heard from what i've heard from people one of my teachers actually. when i wasn't there and everyone from the class told me she said if wendy was my daughter. i would take the baby away from her razor myself sure but now she's not going to amount to anything. and hearing it from my dad now. and saying
11:40 pm
you're not going to bounce anything you're not going to have a future anymore because i decided to keep my son. broke me. we as a society have lied to me this we've been dishonest with 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
11:41 pm
a vast all. 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 started getting ready i started a campaign and then by the time i got there they told me it was too late for me to have it. i'm just bawling my eyes out i was 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 he will finish but what do you mean you can't use diapers like i can't do this i am fix tina i can do this i cannot support him i cannot just call work and raise
11:42 pm
a child. bearing a precious little boy mile at me and i'm thinking i can't do that 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 your response will for another human be 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 night 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
11:43 pm
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 make. so i have my little brother i have my son. about to be to a neighbor i wake up at 6 in the morning at around 7 i will wake up my little brother and mother around 720 i will get faster ready i'll drop them off at my sister's at 730 take my little brother the school 730 i get to school and i'm racing i'm rushing to get there i get out of school at 130 am i was going to work out to get off the school i just i play with matthew for the 30 minutes but i have and then i go to work and whenever i get my 30 minute lunch break do the same thing
11:44 pm
go to my sister's house. and then i get off before for online i don't want to put them both after i put them both to sleep i will start working on my homework of around 1030 and i usually fall asleep better about one or 2. room. luna's. board war. wounded old.
11:45 pm
the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person with those words. no dares thinks. we dare to ask. nothing so what i would say to a 15 year old is. i apologize that you have convinced me. that you are lazy but you are entitled that you are incapable that you are selfish because i don't believe any of those things that. i believe that you have purpose i believe that greatness is only. i believe that you bring value
11:46 pm
into other people's lives and you'll bring value to the lot of this child if you choose to hear that it's not going to do things and we have failed to do it and it is now our job to come alongside of and support you to enable you to make better choices all. my mama watch matthew the 1st year that i had and i want to tell their. thank you mom i love you i appreciate you and what you would say about. oh ok before she shows her love differently. it would show her love by watching him taking care of me making sure i had a good on 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 have a baby you are working you're going to form not only that you're getting fellowship she told me that i was a fighter if i don't and if. you're
11:47 pm
a strong woman fighting. for me to get a message from her saying i'm proud of you and everything they are complex everything that's regularly for me was the best pres i could ever get this is what i have been working for him he years to get us some people i'm proud of. there's a group of villagers working the fields by river when someone in the crew noticed a baby floating downstream. one of the men rushed into the water rescued the baby and brought it to shore before it could recover a number of babies for town floating downstream for long there was a steady flow of babies floating down the river and the whole village was involved in the rescue effort pulling babies out of the water and making sure they were made
11:48 pm
safe but not all of them could be. some are pulled under by the ranging 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 before along the beach and sauce too from all their effort. frustrated controversy erupted in the which one group argued that every possible hand was needed downstream to help rescue the babies they didn't have everyone's hope they would lose too many downstream. the other group argued that every possible hand was needed upstream to get find out how the babies were getting into the water you could save all of them in a limit made the need for the costly and time consuming efforts downstream.
11:49 pm
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. owing to the ones we've lost and our future children to fix the problem upstream and save one else calling them to live. a drug from a separate water fountains used in texas well how much. ok what was different about the water. coming out of it found
11:50 pm
a. person. with the album out in the middle one of the posed to me. the other grew up more real than most of the. people from completely. all that life. based around. when in your. you know there can always 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 you know provide people with assistance with childcare with the house to be. have to help those who are in need now and you have to help those. in the future and in order to do both you have to work downstream you know the circumstances that got us to where we are are unique and so our
11:51 pm
approach to every person and every family and poverty needs to be as unique as that person in that family and that's difficult to do and it's a little overwhelming to think about but people are different so 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. there is 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 of results.
11:52 pm
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 a generational poverty so they came in and they heard from dr diaby goal on her story and we're encouraged with the 6 hour program and she would say how many of you know what it is to have. 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 us sometimes just gets very 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
11:53 pm
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'm not going to judge you i'm not going to criticize you i'm not
11:54 pm
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 possible. when i was growing up it felt like there were a few kids that were completely off. and there are a few. kids that were trying really hard to make good choices. there. but most of us were somewhere in this gray area where we're trying to get our toes as close as we can with completely stepping over. there way we're just trying to get good at. what. is that there are more kids off the rails. there are very few. there
11:55 pm
are of young people who are committed who are strong who are focused who want to make. are making and. that is my hope for the next generation. and that hope comes from the stories that we hope. you can do this we're going to stand by we're going to help you get through the day after the power to turn the ship and. good decision after that. one of the bigger you have to realize that if you do 24 compound interest of things that we're going to take you to places that you came
11:56 pm
in but understand what you do today is going to play more interest that anything you're playing a game that's bigger than yourself or. your family's name or your kids that don't even exist yet for your grandkids benefit for the hard work you put into. all poverty to prevent. all 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
11:57 pm
alone absolutely no one we have to work together we have to overlap with other organizations we have to be community the key is allowing hope but we can't allow hope we can't communicate we can't allow worth until there's a relationship. that not only helps those who are in the river but also gives them the help their kids and their 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 opinion. we can really find some unique treasures in people who are different from us and find out that they're not so different after all.
11:58 pm
because the banks are getting so much free money from the government they don't
