the various jobs with artificial intelligence, real summoning the demon a robot must protect its own existence, was driven by shape in me. i think we dare to ask me.

oh, i think one of the worst things at the 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 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 canvas. but i think if we can teach them that think of their work in their life as a place to express themselves and then dream of what they see themselves becoming, having that strategic miss that makes you think more long term rather than short term one athlete. are told to picture making the shots 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 better. but it's in their hands. it's in

their hands, that's a lesson every kid should learn and they should have chapter responsibility. i can make sure that i never live in poverty. and my kids never live in poverty. if i do the right thing. i hello my name is wendy 18 years old. i go to cabra high school, and i am a senior this year. growing up, there was 8 of a 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 job. it was kind of hard for us to even like have food, all my life even now i'm still on free and reduced lunch. don't now. we have free

reduced lunch, my little brother has free and reduced lunch, and there was 5 of i thought, my year i was 15, i was on a jeremy with rtp and coming back, feeling nauseous. from there i started noticing that i was doing different all the sudden like you're either believe me or you're pregnant and i was like, i don't think i'm believe big like i eat all the time because i like, well, i watch for pregnancy tests and i was like what i just kinda looked at or and so the pregnancy tests and they came out positive been just kind of cried. so 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 in what am i going to do? how am i going to finish school? how am i going to do any that all me june,

terrified out of my mind me. 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 amongst the youngest generation. in other words, about half of the birth in the youngest generation are babies born outside of marriage to typically quite young parents. we haven't worn over the years by doing careful with kids who are single parents, families, generally education and brought themselves and was snable. they also didn't care to come for mary, couple of them in one of our case work with their married

parents and lives for the child with their very parents that also can make a huge difference. they'll do better in school, they'll be more likely to college. and even though they, my composition has changed dramatically over the last 3 or 4 decades. and way more families waves where kids are, where both the athens are going to figure this out. single parents alone have a high stress level, have stigma that comes against them because they're single parents, me, teenagers. we have these adult pharma, but we feel like we're adults. but we're, we're very malleable and we're still children and way our emotions go up and down. and so what happens is the kids are making very tough decisions around friends and peer group. they make it a lot of decisions around relationships and with a phone with, in the intimacy with those people. and this kind of like these things like what

hinders a lot of kids in poverty? ah, i never thought i would ever simply because i was, i still am a straight a student. i do so much charity work so much community service or everyone at school is like, wendy's isn't she? the smart one is a she is a good one from her family. is she the church girl? i never thought that would happen. you don't think from 19 is going to pop out 9 months later. you just think what happened one year. keep going was like going to happen and know when you see the dick turn blue, your whole world just turn upside down. keep me. oh i. when you're talking about the idea of participating in risky behavior, whether we're talking about having sex, doing drugs, drinking,

watching pornography, whatever it is, and 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 risky behaviors, i think it's important to consider the outcomes of those things. it's important to consider that we're not living for just this moment. we have a child, you know, don't, don't fall into the teen pregnancy element. really think about the cost that it takes to be a parent, the cost in time, the cost and finances. and i would encourage you to wait until you're married before you hit wait until, you know you've got that 2nd parents, that 2nd income that can help you raise that child with me is when i see a kid with all the academic rocking, you know, they get these all lazy, finally, they finally break this last feeling where they put all the hard work in their academics. but then they get pregnant with their, with their high school. and then like,

literally just take 3 step back. and i think it's because there's this q emotional intelligence where we just don't talk about like relationships and the strategy around what you do as an emotional being. ah, always been a daddy's girl. i would go to him for everything. when i got pregnant, he did, he had different views and i did. when i told him i was going to keep matthew. he said, you're going to keep them. well. i'm not going to keep you like he suddenly completely . i had matthew in april of 2016. i called him a month later to see how he was doing just to catch up to see if you wanted to see my son. he called 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 still 3 years.

and i haven't heard from him once. i've heard it from people. one of my teachers actually that it, 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 and raised myself so that she can teacher. but now she's not going to amount to anything. and hearing it from my dad, now him saying, you're not getting anything. you're not going to have a future anymore. because i decided to keep my son. it broke me in a we, as a society have lied to me. we've been, we've been dishonest because what we have said to you is that you can be have 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 best that we can to

alleviate the cause that the fact is we cannot alleviate the constantly, it is true that you make your own decisions. you can choose any of the path that you want to choose, that we're being dishonest to you. when we say we can help you avoid. there are consequences for the choices that you're having. sex outside of marriage is not going to fill the void that you're trying to do. it only creates more and more of a vast, open wound. deep within you because you are opening yourself in the most vulnerable way to another human being who is in no way committed to you and who, whose actions are really out of selfishness likely. and a desire to meet a need that day. the day i had them, i started getting ready. i started getting pain and then by the time i got there,

they told me was too late for me, david. guess i'm just balling crying. my, 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 right. like i can change the diaper. he listened like what do you mean? he catches diapers like i can't do this. i am 16. i can do that. i cannot support for him. i cannot do school work and raise a child. i'm staring at this precious little boy smile at me and i kept. i don't. the only thing going through my head was i cannot get in 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 family. having

a child at 15 lead to 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 can you're going to have to tend to take baby in the middle of the night when you have homework and you have to get up personally 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 ah, so i have my little brother, he's like, i have my son about 2 and april. i wake up at 6 in the morning

at around 7. i will wake up, my little brother, and not around 720. i will get master ready. i'll drop them off at my sisters at 730. take my little brother. score 730. i get to school and i'm racing. i'm running, rushing to get there. i get out of school at 130 and i was going to work at 2. i get off the school, i have some at the south. 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 thing, go to my sister's house and then time with them can go back. and then i get off before or online. i are going to put them both to sleep after i put them please. i will start working on my homework at around 1030 and i usually fall asleep at about one or 2. i guys finance guy. when customers go by, you didn't help well reduce the lower the under

cutting, but what's good for food market is that get to the global economy? ah, so what i would say to a 15 year old is i apologize that had convinced me that you are lazy, that you are tied to that you are incapable that you are because i don't lose any of that said the abilene that abilene, that greatness because i believe that you bring value into other people's lives and you'll bring value to the lot and the child, if you choose that it's not going to be and we have failed. and it is now our job to come alongside of and supported to enable you to make better choices. ah, my mama watch, matthew,

the 1st here that i had. and i would always tell her. thank you mom. i love you. i appreciate you. and what she would say back was all okay. me. she chose her love differently to show her love by watching him taking care of me. making sure i had a roof over my head. ah, she told me for the 1st time. i know i never tell you that often, but i am so proud of you. do have a baby you are working. you're going to fall. not only that you're getting scholarship, she told me that i was a fighter. and if you're a strong woman fighter for me to get a message from her saying, i'm proud of you and everything that you're complicating and everything that you're doing for me was the best present i could ever get. this is what i have been working for 2 years is to get a simple, i'm proud of. i

me there is a group of villagers working the field by river when someone in the group noticed the baby floating downstream i. one of the men rushed into the y, rescued the baby and brought it to shore. before he could recover, a number of babies were found floating downstream. before long, there was 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. i summer pulled under by the raging river, slipped through the villagers, 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 be sauce. from

all their efforts frustrated controversy arrested, which one could argue that every possible handler needed downstream to help rescue baby. they didn't have everyone's help, it would lose too many downstream. the other group argue that every possible hand was needed upstream. they could find out how the babies were getting into the water table, all of them and eliminate the need for the costly and time consuming effort downstream. we find out how these babies are falling into the river in the 1st place. we can stop this and no more babies will drown, go upstream. we can eliminate the cause of the problem. me, but it's too risky. might fail or take too long to lose too many live

me. i wanted and our future children to fix the problem upstream phase one else falling into the river. a drink from a water fountain. you've been one of them. i call it till i was 12 years though. okay. what's different about the water coming out of that found me person. so the other mountain that i wasn't supposed to me, i grew up my real life most buried that keep people from completely experiencing all that life, offer me placed around in when

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 ameliorate, provide people with assistance with child care with housing. so it has to be has to be have to help those who need now. then you have to help those who might be in the future. and in order to post, you have to now work downstream circumstances that got us where we are unique. and so our approach, 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. it's interesting looking back historically on what we've done to address poverty, the united states, it's mostly been to provide people with assistance. so various cars and those

things are needed. i think we should not lead people destitute and without such assistance, but 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 opportunities, not equality of results. i went to a conference one, the conference was an opportunity conference where we invited 74 families from our community and hoped 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. donnelly, b, goal 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 just going to notice how many of you know what it is did 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 to, we all have hope with and sometimes it just gets buried. so i had the opportunity visibly see hope rise to the surface of heaven for 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 her everybody about it. i want them to know what i know and i'm going to succeed because people came in the room that didn't know me. and i matter. i was important. i. i am part right. i'm no longer in isolation where i'm irrelevant or i have to walk around and lead with the label or little by little. the hope starts to take that label off.

and when people come into place, you're able to replace their label with word the word. instead of allowing that person to feel me, 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 be value your lived experience because it's different than mine. you say to the other human being, what ever dream you've ever had. it's still, oh i when i was growing, it felt like there were

a youth that were completely off and there were a few kids that were trying really hard to make good choices and really had their focus where it needed to be that most of us were 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 and were just all kind of trying to get 9, get them. what i see now is that there are more kids off the rail. there are very few kids in the gray area. but there are a lot of young people who are committed to are strong, who are folk who want to make good and who are making and having an impact on the people around. that is my hope for the next generation

me. ah, and that hope comes from the stories that we, that hope comes from as 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 the ship, right. and it happens by making one good decision after the new one of the bigger, you have to realize it unfortunate. 24, our compound interest of things that like we're going to take you to places that you can even understand what you do today, is going to play more compound interest. if anything else you're playing a game that bigger than yourself. you're playing a game for yourself, for your family's name, for your kids that don't even exist yet for your dream kids who are going to benefit off of the hardware.

ah, not all poverty is preventable, but we know certainly that based on research and the research that we're using for our program and some of that can be preventable, we want to help and we want to help the community around us. and that'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 feels to not smart enough to get us, you know, smart enough to go to college, got to ask for help you got to ask for help in poverty teacher, you 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 at community fighting. the key is allowing hold them. we can't allow for, we can't communicate hope we can allow worse than television relationship. if we can spark of 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 being the

river. that's the movement we want. when we reach out to people across these barriers, poverty, barriers of political opinions. we can really find some unique pressures and people who are different from us and find out that they're not so different after all, i use use use

. ah the ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? type relation, community. are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere?

which direction? what is truth? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to disband the join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah ah, an entire village in alaska has had to move. if another country threaten to wipe out an american, we do everything in our part a project in water escaping climate change poses the same threat right now. alaska has seen some of the fastest coastal erosion in the world. we lost about 35 feet 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring it is bad and that means the river is $35.00

pounds. then learning was year before, i think we're part of america the 3rd from or america for worse the, i don't know, i mean i some steps in there were skewing food that they were not scabbing river or were rescuing resources that are still good. this is best by march 21st, which is in 2 days. all these potatoes, hall panels, onions, all of these came from waste round sources. this is great for me because i'm always looking for a way to give things away. dr. because the tax laws, you know, definitely do benefit the wealthier people in our society. so that makes sense for them to throw it out right off,

rather than give it to somebody who could use it. because then that person is not going to buy it the or she, europe, and leases the latest technology over long range sound patterns to make borders impenetrable. to migrate. it has the blocks southern states demand, tougher action, and a spike in new coming. well, business leaders gathered in the russian city of st. petersburg this week for the 1st a face to face global financial event of the year. our keys speakers included vladimir putin who announced plans for a vaccine tourism industry. israel's opposition pledges to give parliament an official statement on a new coalition government on monday, which could en benjamin netanyahu 12 years spent as prime minister. c
