I am going to save a child. I am going to help a generation. It may be my child. It may be the child down the street. It may be a child I do not know. But, I am going to save a child.
I might be a mentor. I might be a role model. I might ask to see a report card. I might ask, "Why aren't you in school?" I might ask, "Why are you out so late?" I might say, "You can do better."
I might say, "It's wrong for you to do that." I might say, "Good job. I'm proud of you. Keep up the good work." I might say, "I love you. I'm here if you need me." I am going to save a child.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE PLEDGE
