. . . When 60 inner-city, disadvantaged little league cheerleaders growing up in the projects were asked to write down their dreams on a 3×5 card at a summer camp; the younger ones all wanted to be singers like Beyonce’.
. . . The older girls refused. Whey asked, “Why?” The varsity captain walked to the front of the group.
She said,
“Because we are old enough now to know that dreams will never come true for us down here. We didn’t want to fill out the cards and set ourselves up for another failure. People like you keep coming down here and telling us you are going to help, but you never do. We’re never gettin’ out of here.
So no Rob, we didn’t fill out your stupid little 3×5 cards.”
. . . we opened a record label to help
. . . it’s a story of a teen girl poised to jump off the ledge of a 10 story parking garage right after being told she was going to jail for 2 years. Three times she’s been abandoned or homeless. We meet her at a talent show at a group home for troubled teen girls. She flunked 8th grade and was expelled over 5 times that year. She flunked 10th grade, then she receives an award from her Charter high school for her academic achievements. The May 4th story is below . . .
. . . it’s a story of a young lady being arrested on a felony ‘assault with a deadly weapon’ charge and now applying to college. She starts in Jan. 2017 in Arkansas.
. . . it’s a story of a girl being homeless in NYC as a child for seven years with her mom. Moving to Tampa their apartment burns down; homeless again. We convert the practice studio to a home and move the family in for 6 weeks. We started working with her after she was expelled 7 times in 8th grade. Then she is selected as one of the three top students in 11th grade to attend a week summer camp for highly gifted students. She’s back in NYC with her grandmother getting great grades in high school. She is now starting the college application process.
. . . it’s a story of a bunch of teen girls with unappreciated worth carelessly tossed like rag dolls
we can’t almost do something to help
