education


I cannot read and wite can you teach me,you tell young people like me that education is the key,I want it ,I need it can somebody show me,there is a million things on my mind like who I want be but without no education there is no hope for me.It's been running heavy on my mind like 1+1 and 3x3 but a young person like me can't count because I been thugging it in these streets,if I told you I was a mastermind would you believe me, right right is what they all say to me,I'm not a dummie,I'm not a fool do not try to rule me because I do not have an education you think you can fool me, Education education is what I hear from the hours of  six to three. My mother and my father keep preaching to me about "child go get an education and graduate for me,'' now that I'm in school there isn't a thing you can tell me I can read,write hell I even know my abc's,Education is the number one thing you should have when you trying to survive in these streets because without that knowledge you will get ruined out here in these streets always remember that education is the to success
