The reading this week I was not a big fan of it, didn't really grasp my attention also maybe because we only head two sections to read. For what i read basically described school with the youth and many things that contribute and can effect students. I can say the introduction paragraph really gained my attention.
As I read this reading all I could think about was Beat the Streets Providence which covered many aspects of what was spoke to or targeting. Beat the streets Providence targets these inner city school kids for a series of reasons. Kids are always the generation of the future so they must gain skills or experience to get them in a good position later in life to help the world be a better place. Their can many hardships to grow up as a providence student. The life on the streets, gang banging, robbing, dropping out of school etc. can be an easy fallback plan when school isn't doing it anymore. I'm not saying the school staff isn't doing their job because that would be a lie but their budget to let every student the attention and learning experience is a difficult task. A need for more staff and space for more classrooms, books and supplies will help these students but somethings just cant happen.
Beat the streets wrestling is a great outlet for children of the middle school age, studies have shown wrestling attracts inner city schools very well maybe for its physical nature and accomplishment reward. The program sets criteria for kids to be in school and to accomplish a grade level, so now the kids you can keep in the program are looking like prospects to graduate high school. Also the sport of wrestling, one of its highest steps you can attain is a college wrestler so now a path is created to college and not to be a superstar on T.V. The sport of wrestling is such a demanding sport mentally and physically that many different characteristics are built like self reliance, will power, hard word, dedication, faith, organized and timely to name a few. Next time you on Google look which of your favorite MMA fighter football players, public figures, movie starts and artists wrestled in their lives. The wrestling community always looks out for one another. To end off Forbes magazine out out a article in their ,magazine why wrestlers are great workers to hire.
