Never Underestimate the Ghetto Child
Manage episode 327984899 series 3303287
It takes a lot of confidence and perseverance to overcome growing up in an impoverished environment. There are so many kids dealing with circumstances that we take for granted. Whether it's not having a bed to sleep in or a meal to satisfy their hunger or even having to navigate through a dangerous neighborhood every day to get where you need to be, some kids deal with things that could easily make a person want to give up on life. This poem is special to me because it describes my attitude growing up - determined not to let my environment get the best of me. This episode is especially heartwarming because my daughter, Addison, asked to recite it.
