then you should like you took notes. and you did this for the 1st one to the purest we're just going over to the hundreds. of choices you just for doing good except. if it was national guard can you pull off. a couple of. the pretty to look a little bit. it's a little supreme of course from. there to full support school board of these critics one of the least musically. because there's been. a shooting in july if

there be smeared. all over. the phone with someone to be renewed because of the style if you will it's easy. i think one of the worst things as a kid is what do you want to do it's not what you want to do why do you do the things you do you could design a life that is focused on your watch 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 of what they see themselves becoming having that strategic missed. it makes you think more long term rather than the short term

wants 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 that loop can help kids do better but it's a learning and it's in their audience that's a lesson there we could should learn from 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 high school and i am a senior this year going up there was 8 of us don't live together there is a 3 bedroom house there was a lot of struggle when the economy had and everything my parents both they both had lost their jobs it was kind of hard for us to even like. my life even though i'm still free and reduced lunch now and always have much my little brother house free and reduced lunch and there was. my sophomore year and i was 15. i was on a journey with r.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 had all the time like well i flushed a pregnancy test and i was like what. as an elected or and so there's

a pregnancy test and they came out positive then just kind of fried the my mom told me what any other parent would say to their kid. you're going to be fine we're going to get through this no matter what happened. 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 births 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

have norm over the years by doing careful study with kids who are from single parent families generally education. was. themselves. older they also have. been kids who come from married couples but. it's more of our kids were with their married parents live for their whole child with their married parents that also quickly huge difference they'll do better in school will be will 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 have a stigma comes against them because they're single parents. as teenagers we have

these adult so we feel like we don't but we're very valuable lessons and we're still children who 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 their phone love with intimacy with those people and 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 a straining to do so much charity work so much community service or everyone at school is like $23.00 visits to a smart one and she would get one from her family isn't she the church girl i never thought that would happen. you don't think from one night something. is going to pop out 9 months later you just think oh i have the ones here keep going with 5.

and a half. and know what you see the picture of 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. 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. really think about the cost that it takes to be a parent the cost in. and so you're married before.

me is when i see all the academics are. all lazy finally. then they get pregnant. and then literally take 3 steps back and i think it's because there's a. new intelligence. about. the strategy. as an emotional. i'm always been a daddy's girl i would go to him for everything.

anneke my son. it broke me. we as a society have lied to you in 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 cons. 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 make 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. debate 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 you and his whose actions are really out of selfishness likely 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 he 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 the part for him i cannot just call work and raise a child. there. precious little boy while 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 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 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 3 to win 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 the 730 i get to school and i'm racing i'm rushing to get there i get out of school at $130.00 and i was going to work out to get off or i just i play with matthew for a 30 minute but i have and then michael and whenever i get my 30 minute lunch break do the same thing go to my sister's health and spend time with then go back and then i get off. i.

1030 and i. wanted. the.

so. this is. all of that have convinced you. that you are lazy that. you are incapable that you are self because i don't believe any of those things that. i believe that you have purpose i believe that greatness is only. believe that you bring value into other people's lives and bring value into the law if you choose to hear that it's not going to be easy and we have failed and it is now. to enable you to make better choices gold. my momma watch the

1st. color. i love. and. love. watching him. with my head. she told me for the 1st time i know i never tell you this often but i am so proud of you. you are. born. and everything. everything that. was. this is what i have been working. for i'm proud of.

there's a group of villagers working in the fields by river when someone in the group 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 were found floating downstream for a long there was a steady sloth 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 milledge one 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 to get find out how the babies were getting into the water they could save all of them and eliminate the need for 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.

to the ones he's lost and our secret children to fix the problem upstream he sees one and only. drank from a separate water fountain you can say. ok but was different about the water. coming out of that found. in comparison. to the mountain that wasn't supposed to. go up i realize most. people feel completely. all that life. based around them. when the

children 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 mill you're right you know provide people with assistance with child care with als say it has to be but. you have to help those who are 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 where we are. and so our approach to every person 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 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 over. as cars 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 we believe in equality of opportunity not equality of results. 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 beagle her story and

were encouraged it was a 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. 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 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 the list. 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 close to the line as we can without completely stepping over but we weren't really convicted either way we're just all kind of trying to get by getting. what i see now is that there are more kids off the rails. there are very few kids in this very area. but there are a lot of young people who are committed who are strong who are focused who want to make good decisions and who are making and having 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 you we're going to help you get through this they have the power to turn this ship away and it happens by making one good decision after that. one of the bigger you actually realize the things you do from 14 to 24 hour 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 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 i got to ask for help in poverty issue 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 is the key is allowing hope that we can allow hope we can communicate we can allow worthen tell their generation 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 and their kids' kids. not be in the river that's the movement we want when we 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.

the world is driven by dreamers shaped by the curse of those great. no dares thinks. we dare to ask.

today the industry prefers to spend millions of euros in the not being to d. day regulations i will be sniffy all about making money making profits in some of the corporations international markets import export do you imagine the number of chronic diseases that are out in every community today it is not do to new viruses all new microbes facts not true so it is due to environment. and say you know that moment all discipline of this sort of muscles are really just accumulate could only come into use even though to the side in the list that. the cleverness of 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 i was an industry and if we don't behave zinnias penalties must find. the week's top stories and i'll say vaccine has it's unsafe throws up a major obstacle for the e.u. is already stalling roll out. with regulators struggling to convince. since it has been shown there are people who. have to get involved. in their interest. trust. and. trade barriers. the former u.s. intelligence analyst faces years in prison for exposing america's program we.
