“I lost my job. Life has been kinda hard. I was just taught to never give up no matter what, so that’s what I gotta do. I got three kids that keep me going and I have to do this for. 

I became a father when I was twenty. I had twin boys, then I had my third son. It’s not easy but I have to keep pushing for them. I have to work extra hard to help my babies’ mother. I just want a better future for my kids. I want them to go to school and go to college and make something of themselves. I want them to have goals and to be able to reach them.

My advice to the world? Stay humble, stay woke, and strive to do the best you can possibly do.”- Alijah, California
