If you had the only way of education through Job Corps would you give it your all best?

Question

if that was your only chance before going to jail. Or before being thrown out of your parents house? Would you start shapen up? Or would you be a pain in the butt like most teenagers now a day's are? Laczy's and up to no good? I am asking this cause it happens to a teacher friend of mine. She say's its getting so bad latly that she is fat up with teaching. And she is a professional teacher for over 35 years of experiences.Would like to hear from teenagers that live under the poverty line.

Answer 1

Most kids living "under the poverty line" probably don't have computers with internet access. Ultimately, though, people make their own choices about how their life turns out regardless of where they come from. I found an interesting statistic the other day illustrating what separates people who turn out poor from those who don't, regardless of where they come from. A person must:
1. Finish high school.
2. Get married and avoid having children before marriage
3. Stay out of jail
4. Stay employed
Now out of all the people in the country who do those 4 things, less than 1 in 10 of them is poor.
People's fates are ultimately in their own hands.

*edit* Well I'm sorry if you don't like what I have to say, but it's true.
