Interesting. He seems like he had a good upbringing. He was tripping on kids wearing another set of shoes every week.
I only had one pair of Filas or Ewing's per school year. I was grateful, never checked for the next kid.
Even now. My DCs, I wear them until the sole goes bad. Now I have 3 shoes lined up for the next several years.
As a kid I had less then him. I chose to try to do positive, not carry guns and commit murder.
Even in my life I seen alot of "street" dudes who were well provided for, and loved.
And I saw street dudes who came from poverty, neglect and severe abuse. They felt crime was their only option. They had heart, always told me I was doing good and to stay in school.
There's different scenarios.
Ppl have to run with their blessings and build. Not end up breaking the ten Commandments in their own life history.
