Children must have at least one person who
believes in them. It could be a counselor,
a teacher, a preacher, a friend. It could be you.
You never know when a little love, a little support, will plant a small seed of hope...one thing the
country does not understand is that we don't have
a child to waste. We will not be a strong
country unless we invest in every one of our children. We need the poor black kid,
the poor brown kid, the poor white kid to
be productive. All children are essential to
America's future.
