What does the following quote mean to you? "You don’t get to pick where you’re
from, but you always have control of where you’re going."
Basically wherever you came from, you can choose your own
path. For example, the general perception on kids that grow up in the projects
is that they’ll sell drugs, join gangs, hop in and out of jail etc. Most of
these kids grow up in single-parent households and don’t care about school.
That’s how we see it. But some of those kids really care about their future and
how to get out of that lifestyle. Various successful people came from poor
backgrounds and worked their way to top. Once they’re living the life, they’ll
come back to their hometown and realize they still belong there. Life may have
been rough, but it shaped them into the person they are today.
