(if they even try at all) all y'all thats still talking how she didnt pop out is the ones that missed the moral of it... prolly the same ones that watch as generations fall off to the captivating seas'

    This is a beautiful story and I hope it inspires many young girls that come from bad neighborhoods. Camden, NJ is one of the most neglected and dangerous cities with the highest rate of crime in NJ. It is not everyday when an adult decides to step up and become a role model for children in schools. Hopefully, others will follow and this lady deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for promoting peace and triumph.
