It may inspire and motivate these kids to take action, because it'll make the possibility of what they can do with what they have perceptible.

I find it so not cool when people who could be an inspiration to many get all brusque, tweaking and embellishing their own stories as if never-erred geniuses from birth, confining these kids to despair, you know, like, to make it, you gotta be ultrahuman, probably first in class from grade one to college, or be born made.
