“The reality is that there are half a billion kids in India, in villages, who have a pre-determined life. If they're very lucky and they're a gifted athlete, maybe they can compete for the Olympics, or maybe they can get into the military. But if you're not a gifted athlete, then you're going to end up working for your family and you're going to perpetuate what your family is. It's gotten to the point, in villages, where there's no hope. And the first spark of hope is when you ask yourself the question,"What gift did God give me that I can develop and use to better my life?"” IfsGivingFirstsI CanEndsUseRealityKidsAsksHalfMilitaryLuckyIndiaGive MeAthleteDeterminedBillionsOur FamilyVillageSparksOlympicsGiftedNo Hope Author:J.

The best mothers always put their kids' needs before their own, period.” NeedsKidsMotherReadingPowerfulStreetsDangerMomPeriodsFemaleUltimateConstantCompetitionMotherhoodMagazinesOlympicsMotheringGood MotherBest Mother Author:Susan J.
