Some of you might not have those advantages. Maybe you

don't have adults in your life who give you the support that

you need. Maybe someone in your family has lost their job

and there's not enough money to go around. Maybe you

live in a neighborhood where you don't feel safe, or have

friends who are pressuring you to do things you know

aren't right

But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life -

what you look like, where you come from, how much

money you have, what you've got going on at home - none

of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework or

having a bad attitude in school. That's no excuse for

talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping

out of school. There is no excuse for not trying.
