“I believe children deserve a champion, someone who believes in them. By providing a positive role model who supports the development of their confidence and self-esteem, we can get these kids to believe in themselves. This will lead to an understanding of where his or her life is headed, making it easier for the child to make choices that reflect their future potential rather than the many distractions that surround them. Too many kids are making choices based on the here and now, and not understanding the consequences of those choices, which is creating a seemingly disengaged generation.”
