within my education endeavors. i want to encourage all students to take advantage of their after-school programs, take advantage of the programs that's available in their community because every 26 seconds one student drops out of school. because of that statistic, the boys and girls club service, 4500 boys and girls club serving millions of kids daily. and i know that it's 4.5 million kids today that's not going to drop out of school and some 4.5 million kids in this world that has goals of post secondary education and so i just want to encourage them to press forward and be involved in whatever they can do. because my life great future started at the boys and girls club. >> what denzel is touching on something we haven't spoken about. while there's certainly a lot of issues at school, having a safe place to go once the school day is complete is so very important that can really mean the difference in a lot of kids' lives. example 1a here.
