‘If you really are willing to succeed and you have that determination and perseverance within yourself, then you can go as far as you want to.’
This is THE lie being taught to every person in our education system.
Lets start with honest education...
‘If you really are willing to succeed and you have that determination and perseverance within yourself, AND IF YOU HAVE FOOD IN YOUR BELLY, AND SECURE HOUSING, AND A FAMILY WHO IS SUPPORTIVE & UNDERSTANDS THE VALUE OF EDUCATION, AND YOU HAVE NETWORKS TO HELP YOU GET WORK OR EXPERIENCE, AND YOU ARE GIVEN OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPERIENCE ALL THE JOBS & ALL THE DREAMS, AND YOU HAVE GUIDANCE, AND MONEY... then you can go as far as you want to.’
stop lying to yourself and young people- everything isnt equal, perseverance and hard work is important- but so is support, and food, and love, and safety, and a home! Lets work to ensure that perseverance is the most important part of success, we do this by creating equal conditions for everyone. By changing the system. Not blaming the person!
