THOUGHTS Start selling drugs at the age of 18 that’s definitely not good. Well I don’t even think there’s an age for that. PAGE 18 NOTES Lenny and his wife Loraine where always fighting and people usually gathered around to watch them fighting. Thoughts Really what’s wrong with those police officers who enjoy watching two drugs addicts fighting for some drugs. PAGE 19 NOTES After a year Loraine overdosed but Lenny came back as a transformed person, he stopped doing drugs and he even got a job working for the city. Thoughts I am so happy for lenny that he actually stopped doing drugs. PAGE 20 NOTES Darnell Baylor works in the same east Baltimore neighborhood; he is a psychiatric rehabilitation program worker. He needs to make sure kids go to school and keep their parole dates. Thoughts It seems like they don’t have to much support from the government. PAGE 21 NOTES There is a lot of American dreams chasers that are trying to start a business. The inner cities of America are our nations hot bed of side hustles. Even people with college degrees need multiple stream of revenue to survive. Thoughts We need to start seeing the main reason for all the problems and not just judge people. REFLECTION We need to start seeing the poverty in America in a different way, people aren’t poor because of their laziness, sometimes they just need an opportunity to improve their life and college is one of the tools that can help us tp get a better life.
