Providing Advantages

“I grew up in a middle class family, in a neighborhood that was bordered on one side by large homes on ‘the bluff’ with kids that had all the advantages, and on the other side were kids that lived in ‘the projects’.  All the kids went to the same school, and were pretty much the same. I noticed that the kids from the bluff had more advantages, that afforded them more opportunities and a better outlook for their life ahead.

…There are a lot of exceptional kids with great parents that just don’t happen to live on the bluff. It’s not the kid’s fault. If I could provide them just one advantage, it would give them an extra step up in life.”
