My old Principal used to be his old Principal at City As and said he got mixed up into things he really shouldn’t have been mixed up in cause he was a good kid in school.

So many gifted and good hearted young people become products of their environment. It’s saddening.

[@ryannowlan3838]

@@dretheman123 Product of environment is an easy excuse. You have kids who grow up in war zones & end up doing positive things. Other hand you get kids who have everything growing up who fall into crime.

[@Mush2389]

@@ryannowlan3838 I agree but they have to have that positive father figure around and or strong grandparents/mother to help them not get caught with the other influences.

[@dretheman123]

@@ryannowlan3838 You can’t really dispute my point giving very rare and extreme examples. You could make a very apt comparison between kids that make it out of war torn countries (that then go on to make successes of themselves), to somebody winning the lottery. Yes winning the lottery is possible, but the odds are highly stacked against you. Growing up in an environment with so many negative influences and hardships, a lot of young people ultimately end up making the wrong choices in life. Having the ideology that external factors don’t play a significant role in a child’s development is nonsensical and makes you sound out of touch.

I absolutely love this interview: his extreme life experiences have shaped such profound perspective and a drive to action through international politics to positively help the Belizean people as well as, both ideologically and by personal example, all of humanity with the aim to give access to the best opportunities the earth has to offer to all people rich and poor... G-d bless his servitude to humanity!
