Why Is Reading Cool?

First of all I feel that we the public should learn how to make reading cool especially for young men, because a lot of young men don't think that it's cool to read or to be seen reading, and definitely don't want to be known as a smart kid. I feel that reading is cool because it helps you learn new things, it helps educate you, it helps you grow as a person, it opens your eyes to new people and places, and through reading you can do many things. We the public should find new ways to encourage young men to read and we should teach them that it's cool to be smart and if we can do that we will help a lot of people. Another very important change we must move forward on is changing the negative stigma connected to being smart that our young people seem to continue to struggle with decade after decade.

How Can You Support Someone That's Getting Out Of Prison ?

When it comes to supporting someone who is or has come out of prison i thank that it is very important that you allow them to be as independent as they can be and you just support and encourage them as they move forward, As a Homecomer myself i feel that this is very important, but if you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them.

Why Are School's So Important ?

I feel that school's are very important because the children spend more time in a day in school then they do at home and they spend more time at school then they do with their parent and or parents. We need teachers who can teach and who want to be a teacher because a lot of these young people in the inner city are failing because of the lack of teaching, but i feel that the parents should do their part as well. It's very important that the environment in a school be safe so that the children can be comfortable and learn. I feel that the DC school system is failing because of the people and i just believe that we need teachers who want to teach and not just someone who want a job.The school is suppose to help our children build on their life and prepare them for the future. I wont blame everything on the school system or the teacher's because the parent and or parent's need to do their part to make sure that their child is successful in life.

Can We (Home Comers) Be A Part Of The Solution ?

I am a homecomer and I've been home for two years and three months now and in the past I feel that I was part of the problems that was in our community, but now I want to be a big part of the solution and try to bring about change in the community. I don't feel that a lot of people in the community/ society want us to be apart of the community or the solution, but please understand that we are just as much apart of the community/society as anyone else. We have a lot to give back to our communities if given the chance. When it comes to the homecomers they can teach, in many ways, how to help change/ help theses young people out who are in the streets and we (Home Comers) can learn how to become apart of the community again with the people who are in the community. Lets be apart of the SOLUTION together !!

Together We Can !

I am one who believe that we can't do all things by ourselves so with that said , we need other people to help us along the way. When i was a kid my coach told me < Eddie i would rather have 5 good players then one super star because 5 people can get more done then one person can ever get done and symbolically we can apply that to everything we do in life. I believe that we as a community can make things a little better if we come together (team work), and we must use what we have and who ever we have to change things for the better. I do all that i can to help out the community because i now feel apart of it and i would like to try and take care of it by helping some of these young guys try to change the way they see life , community and themselves. Together We Can, so lets work together.

Do You Think That People Can Change??.

I am one who believe that people can change and I'm not just saying this because i have changed my life around, but I'm saying this because things were made to change and with that said humans can change.For example the the butterfly starts as a larvae then it evolves into a caterpillar then it goes into the cocoon stage and then it evolves into the butterfly. I believe that what we go through in life is what makes us stronger people if we allow what we went through good or bad to be a lesson to our life. We all as human beings will make some bad choices in our life one way or another and we might be in a situation where we want to be forgiven for our actions, but we don't forgive others for their actions. is that wrong of you??MY past is not who i am, but it is a situation that took place in my life that i can't change and i am trying to continue to change myself /life around as much as i can. I went through the larvae stage in my life when i was a baby and then i moved on to that caterpillar stage of my life which i think is my teenage years the years were most people struggle and then my prison years were the cocoon stage in my life were i was allowed to grow and become a better and stronger person and now I'm in that butterfly stage enjoying my freedom/life and i have evolved over the years as a human being and will continue to evolve as long as i am here on earth. Whenever you think that people can't change please think again. We were born to change, We were born to grow and sometimes we hinder ourselves from doing both.
