I'm just a stickler for personal responsibility, we all make choices in life and should be accountable for that. I'm from a West Indian culture that focused on education, improving yourself and showing respect for others.
We were driven hard educationally to achieve excellence in one's studies. When I came to America at 12 I was stunned at the way the inner city school system was, kids pushing teachers down the stairs, cursing out loud, concerned about the latest Air Jordan's on their feet. It was a culture shock for me to see that kind of behavior.
Education seemed like the last thing on the mind of these junior high and then high school kids.
All of that just rubbed me a certain way because of how I was raised.
I believe there is a right and wrong way of doing things and cannot stand disrespectful individuals.
