I never really appreciated how lucky I was until I started coaching at a black high school.The issues some of these kids had were mind boggling. More importantly their decision making skills even for 16 and 17 year old kids were horrible.Some of them came from good families and those kids much better students and a lot more coachable at first.I am not going to get into all the details of everything but a lot of these kids at 15-16 years old felt the need to carry around guns.More than that a lot of these kids had role models that were not role models at all but used peer pressure to get these kids into hustling and going the wrong way.The biggest issue is how selfish this country is becoming to even its own race. When I grew up in the 80's a lot of people were involved in sports and church to give back to the community.This is not the case and a lot of people who are involved do it is for selfish reasons.We as a people are the ones who let these kids down.East Texas still has a lot of racism. Even in the black community towards whites.The worse thing I saw was young black kids who wouldn't even listen to me because I was white and I wouldn't understand their situation.</blockquote>
