African Proverb: "It takes a village to raise a child"
When I reflect on this specific quote, I can truly understand and appreciate exactly what the older folks meant when I heard them say it because it truly takes a village to raise children. I was blessed to be raised in a village with loving parents,aunts, uncles, grandparents and people in my neighborhood that truly cared about my well being. If it wasn't for the village who knows where I would be or what I would've have become. I'm not saying that there were'nt trials and tribulations, but we were equipped with people who cared enough to steer us back on the right path. Thank God for the village where I grew up.
