So I was watching this show this morning,Primetime:Crime, that I had taped days before about Missouri's approach to the juvenile jail system. It was very interesting and stated that many states just stick to locking kids up and not really dealing with the core problems of why the kids are there in the first place. Missouri's approach is very different, in that they will have group discussions and really try to help these kids. These kids would really open up about their past and I could tell it was very hard for them to do. It made me think about my childhood, yes I got made fun of for being mixed, but that wasn't the only issue. I've never really discussed my issue with anyone except my family and it helped in some ways. I still look back and want to cry and feel unbelievable anger towards the world, but I constantly tell myself that if I look forward in life and truly believe God is there for me to lead me down the right path, I can and will make it. Anyways, I was watching this show and I was almost in tears. I want so badly to dedicate my life to helping other people out there who at some point in their lives may have felt the same way I did and sometimes still do. Sorry, I tend to rattle on a lot. Did anyone else happen to catch this show on TV Wednesday night? |

School was not fun at all for me. The schools I attended were predominantly white, I wish I could have attended more diverse schools. That's why I want to live somewhere in the future where it's a lot more diverse, I want to broaden my horizons. |
