Today we went to NED DOWMAN HIGH SCHOOL to go and speak to the kids about MANHOOD,LEADERSHIP and the importances about school.At first the principle tried to get there attensoin but they were so rude and it was like there were no teacher in the room and suddenly there was a fight between 2 students and then all the boys went crazy and I thought that this kids will never listen to us but I were wrong we were split into classes and we told our experiences of prison and where we made mistakes and to my surprise the kids did not even give us one problem they were so interested in what we had to say that and they did not even see the principle or the teachers come into the class then I saw that they need to here things from people on there level that know what life is like in the community where they come from.Then we went for a break and some students came to us and ask if we are coming to there classes and some teachers told us that they were impressed by the way the kids was paying attention to us and I could see that the teachers were very happy to see the students paying attention to us and that made me smile to see a teacher so happy because a teacher have allot of stress when they go home but today they can go home and tell someone about today in a positive way and even the principal and teachers could not thank us enough. by; BRADLEY SLINGERS
