If I was given one hundred days and unlimited resources to change the world, the one cause I would take on would be the well-being of children and teenagers because I believe that is what truly changes the world.

I would focus on these objectives because children and teenagers who come from bad areas tend to become involved in the most serious of criminal activity which eventually will lead to prison or death.
Once these schools have been established and they have received entirely new school equipment, I would then begin to focus on the general community. I have always believed the boys and girls club was a good establishment because it gives children a safe place to go from school and keeps them involved with the right group of people. As the schools were established in the worst parts of cities, states, and countries, I would focus on putting kid’s clubs in these same areas in the hope that parents would encourage their children to attend these clubs which would not only keep them out of trouble, but also would help them develop life lasting relationships, better
