Rising Above The Devestation

The inner city lower class state of living is detrimental to the youth growing up within the communities. We all know the problems, but few actually try to affect the circumstances. Those within the community identify with the struggle and want more, so they follow the any means necessary method. Some believe that what they are is who they are, I do not believe this to be true. It is your situation that influences your mentality, but it is your drive towards improvement and advancement that make the difference between staying in your current situation or rising above it. Those placed in situations where they have the opportunity to help should not hesitate to do so. Where you have been only tells of your journey, where you go will be your make on the world. To all those in the struggle, fight to rise above it, do not give up because with drive comes opportunity.
