"On our way to football practice, there is a truck in the park that sells water, ice, and pretzels for the kids. And they also sell beer. I want you to see that when my son gets to the park that there is prostitution going on and they are also selling alcohol."

Try to work with what you have. So many people live beyond their means. You can't say, "I’m living in this house and it’s a piece of crap and nothing works." Try to empower yourself to fix something or to do something. There’s things that you can do yourself just to improve the quality of life around you.

When I took that picture I was thinking that they say Philadelphia’s the City of Brotherly Love. But if it’s the City of Brotherly Love why can't anybody even get a job in this city? The people that are really trying to get a job can’t get one.

Those are abandoned houses behind my yard. Those two houses were set on fire--that got my daughter sick for a week with her asthma. I hate it. I hate this neighborhood.

Her dad borrowed my camera. He took those pictures at work--he does landscaping. Look at my future house--when I become a millionaire.

As I take a look as to what is being built in Washington, DC, the first thing that comes to mind is non-affordable homes, condos or apartments for single working mothers. These apartments are gorgeous, but I don’t get wrapped up in that thought. I enjoy the scene but understand that I cannot afford that home for my daughter and I at the time.

"My daughter and her classmates are symbols of change. They have hope for a brighter future and faith that the adults in their lives will work together to make a change. We must do whatever it takes so that they can grow up and be strong, educated adults."

Right now I’m a single parent and I’m trying. I’m telling you, it’s hard. I’m just going to have to keep up the good work and just keep on trying and just keep them in school.

That’s underneath my sink, and that’s a bucket of water because the piping is messed up. I caught a mouse in it this morning! I haven’t bothered the landlord with it because I’ve been a month behind in my rent for the past three months. Since September, since I had to buy all the kids school stuff. I couldn’t really afford it, you know?

I just want them to grow up to be the best that they can be. I want them to finish high school. I want them to either go to college or take up some type of trade.

I took a picture of this is because to me, it’s dangerous. My bed is right underneath it. If something was to spark and go off, I’m done. It bothers me that that’s right there.
