How I learned to believe in myself | Lamonte Grady | TEDxGreenRockCorrectionalCenter

Listen to how Lamonte Grady turned himself around while at a pit stop in prison. I am a . . . parent, thinker, hard worker, positive person, connector, potential employer.I’m passionate about . . . educating the youth; mentoring young men and at-risk kids.I grew up in a single-parent household with three brothers and one sister. My oldest brother was paralyzed since the age of five. I thought I had to be the provider and protector of the family, so I quickly grew up and jumped headfirst into the streets. Once I got older and gained a greater understanding of life, I realized I made a lot of horrible decisions. I now dedicate all my time and energy to figuring out ways to connect with the youth. I want to help rebuild and bring together the same community I was helping to tear apart. Hope and belief are all you need to make change. I believe in myself and every person in this world. When we stop thinking selfishly and start thinking on a collective level, great things will happen. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
