On Education: Changing the way people think starts with education

The other way it started - the reason why I wanted to do a school is because I had tried other things and failed. I had tried creating my own Big Sisters program when I first moved to Chicago. I tried moving families out of the projects to give them a new lease, a chance on life, and what I recognized with all of my failed projects is that unless you change the way people think, you don't change them. You have to start at the core of how they think. So that's why education is so important to me.
