Taking the World By Word


A word...

It can mean so many things.

It's meaning changes depending on the context in which you use it,

You may even say it differently from others around you.

English, French, German, Italian, any language has either the same word through translation,

Or it's slightly different,

But the intent is still the same.

People need to be able to get the chance to learn some of the basic differences,

That's why I'd change the education of children in the good 'ol U.S. of A.,

To make sure that even though they can't go to an actual school,

That they could get the basic education they would need to help themsleves in the future.

Maybe get a job,

  and become better at that job that anybody else that company or franchise has ever seen.

It only takes one person,

One person,

To change a child's future from negative to that positive that everybody wishes to achieve.
