Josh Sanders, aged 19, says, "I believe the main part of the problem when I was younger was 7 that I was bored. There was nothing that local youth clubs could offer other than hanging out with my friends. School was not the place I liked, and in the streets there were things that could lead to trouble - drinking, drugs, street fighting. My schoolmates are now drug addicts or unemployed. I could also end with that, but I was lucky 1 so I left to find a youth club that had decks and a mic. I loved DJing greatly and it helped me a lot. After school I entered college, but it wasn't for me, and I ended 2 when I was 14 dropping out. Because of it, I began doing full-time voluntary work at a charity for young people. I helped kids with problems in school by running DJ workshops. 4 The more I did it, the more I realised that I could help change their minds because they had the same problem as me. I could talk to them and they seemed to respect me. Nowadays I combine earning my living with changing the world for the best at the charity. I am now sure my future is in youth work - it has changed my life. In contrast to politicians who are always talking about solving youth crime, I am the one who can really change things."
Amari Smith, who is 18, remembers her school life as always getting into trouble. She says, "I had a fight with a girl 2 when I was 14 and my teachers said I would end up in prison if I didn't stop doing things like that. My parents divorced 6 and the problem was worse. I was living with my dad, but at the age of 16, I went to live with my mum. We had lots of quarrels, and it didn't work out, 5 when I was very young. I didn't think of my future and didn't care about myself. My way of life was just hanging around with girl gangs who carried knives and guns. One day I joined Tomorrow's People charity. It helped me to feel comfort and care there. They didn't talk 3 who know what life is like to you and they listened. I teamed 3 with people who were making a video for schools and colleges about the danger of carrying guns. From my experience, I know kids don't listen to older people, but it's evident they might pay more attention to teenagers like us 6 on the streets. During summer holidays, we also organised a soccer club to get younger kids up every morning and join in. I've always had a strong wish to survive, and I feel I've given something back. Now I work for charity and it helped me to get a flat. Now I'm doing my best to apply to study law at college."

2 when I was 14 dropping out - упоминается о том, что он бросил колледж в возрасте 14 лет. Подчеркивается, что это решение было частью его ненадежного прошлого.
4 The more I did it - эта фраза демонстрирует, что чем больше Джош работал с детьми, тем больше он осознавал, как может помочь им.
5 when I was very young - эта вставка объясняет, что в молодом возрасте у Амари были проблемы, и это могло привести к её трудностям.
6 and the problem was worse - это объясняет, что развод родителей усугубил её ситуацию.
3 who know what life is like - в этом контексте это утверждение подчеркивает значимость общения и понимания от человека, который сам переживал подобные жизненные трудности.
6 on the streets - помещает фразу в контекст, что именно уличные подростки могут лучше помочь своим сверстникам, чем взрослые.
