“I know it’s hard to believe in 2009, but sometimes, school is the only place a kid can get a hot meal, a respite from the weather, a break from poverty- and it’s the only place where they get a chance to start making their way to the bigger and better things in life. An education should be a given- a good education should be, too, and that’s why I care!”
