One of my goals for my children is that they realize that they have choices in the first place. Don't accept; choose!
So many people continue living in terrible urban conditions when there are similarly priced suburban and rural options with safer communities and better schools...and a better future if not for them, then definitely for their children. Of course, they have to want that. I assume they do want that, but feel trapped. Then again, maybe they love it...for them and their kids.
Strangely, the choice to make a choice can be the toughest choice of all.
