He speaks about his history and how playing basketball on the street court of Philly changed his life. Bright, vibrant colors with a mix of vintage footage play in the background as he speaks with emotion and wisdom. He then encourages the youth to be leaders, to get involved, to build something great, and to take ownership of their future. Finally, the words rest with the old man's last statement, "Let's work together to stop the violence and build a better future." With a soft, sullen beat in the background, the camera zooms out to conclude the story as the old man looks out into the horizon. No, I have never read a script like this before.

But it can also be a distraction if you don’t use it in moderation. So I think it’s important to be mindful of how you use technology.

It's like work but you actually learn something instead, not because you'll die if you don't. Alongside this, having this extra time allows me to further push my education and brings lots of chances to make money or even a company early on. This could mean potential financial security before college, allowing me to truly be anything I want in life. Turning into an adult would mean losing 8 or more hours every day working, compared to a child getting value out of the 6 hours in school.

If children are unable to get a proper education or find their hobbies early on, they may struggle to find a job they enjoy and happiness in life.

Most people in our district are already well off, but most of society doesn't have this freedom. Many people at our ages are already working, but our parents provide extremely well, allowing us to pursue anything we desire rather than working at a minimum wage job in order to provide for the family.

Being near people with similar interests also brings more that have similar desires, as they will join that friend group. Many different groups exist in school, allowing for any goals in life to thrive. However, once people get past college they often cannot find other people with similar mindsets unless they go back to college, throwing them into the world with no backup or people to rely on. Anyone can get an education, but not everyone can make true friends that stay alongside them for their whole life. Tue, 04 Apr 2023 09:49:05 -0400
