Kimberly, I understand where you're coming from and perhaps why you said it in this way. I was a homeless kid with a mother that didn't know how to do anything other than look beautiful. Everyone said she did that well.

We were really poor. People told us we would always be poor white trash. At Nine-one half, I went to work because I had my Mother, brother, and two sisters that I was responsible for in every way.

Only one of us as a grown continued living as a poor person.

My neighbors grandson is acting out calling his grandmother and mother names like his father did. He has no idea how to treat a girl or a woman.

This is just one of many examples.If we don't teach or train others, twenty years from now (I'll be 96) those still here won't like what they have.

Thank you for your piece.
