Don't Except Mediocrity


Did you know that the amount of jails built each year are built according to 3rd grade reading levels,

Maybe if we stop telling our youth they can't and replace it with CAN they will overcome,

punch ignorance in the face instead of battling one another with our fists,

fight with knowledge, shake the foundation,

 change "Its not cool to go to school " to  "losers sit at home," 

undermining our generation has come to an end,  it's time to take a stand against mediocrity
