Imagine...

I want you to think about your childhood. I want you to think about your life, as far back as you can remember until the day you graduated high school. What was it like? For me, I remember a lot of bad things. I remember how mean some of the girls in my private school were. I remember getting made fun of because I walked a little funny. I remember when all my friends had phones and I did not. Even now, so many of my friends have smart phones, but I do not. I have gotten jealous over so many things. I remember getting in fights with my parents because I could not go where I wanted with who I wanted when I wanted to go. I remember getting mad because I had to do certain things. I am being honest with you in this, and I think that is the way a lot of kids grow up. They have many of the same memories as me.
Now imagine a kid who has little to nothing. Their parents beat them and curse them. They sleep amid trash and debris. The end.
