bronx students discuss obama’s race speech

Hearing these kids talk brought back memories of the kids who I grew up around in the South Bronx. All I remember thinking during my early years was how I couldn’t wait to get out of my neighborhood… mainly because there weren’t many positive options.

It’s so inspiring to hear how these kids are inspired to be their best. How one person can make them truly believe that they can be anything they want to be. I’m not sure if anyone can appreciate what that means unless they’ve come from those streets… but it’s completely “wonderful.”
