After watching the video about Tammy and her son and their way of life, I think it was truly amazing that her son has such high aspirations and wants to do something successful with his life. Usually parents are a key role model, and whether you like it or not, a lot of people wind up having a similar lifestyle as their parents. This video shows one of the rare times when the child wants break away from the life that was given to him and the social class that he was born into, and hopefully he can succeed. Although he knows his mother works hard and has to walk a long way to Burger King just to get by on minimum wage, and seems to apreciate her efforts, he strives for more. She was a role model in a small wayby showing him what its like to put your all into whatever you do and keep pushing your limits. Its inspirational to see all of his efforts as he tries to work really hard in school, wears nicer clothes, and wants to go to college--- All of which his brothers give him a hard time for. Instead of making fun of his dreams and his clothes, maybe they should learn a little from their brother and try to be optimistic. Maybe then they would have better futures.
