There are many factors in George's early life that led to him being one not easily tempted by wrong. Growing up on the streets of Newark, NJ offered him many opportunities to succumb to the negative pressures of the ghetto. Had he grown up in a different home with different people, George would probably not be the man he is today, or even be at all. Children, under the wrong influences, can live carelessly, in which they are reckless with their lives, and in some unfortunate cases, lose them. This was not the case for George. He had a stable home, a loving mother, and safe friends, all of which contributed to George's wellbeing. In George's life, he was lucky to have been influenced by positive adults. Though the unstable and dangerous elders greatly outnumbered the good, George allowed himself to be taught by healthy role models, and view unhealthy adults as lessons. He was wary of drug dealers, addicts, and gang members, understanding that taking the wrong path could result in addiction, beating, jail time, or death. Unfortunately, the sight of unreported crimes was not foreign; George and his family lived in an area where things of negative nature were only custom. Ella Jenkins Mack disliked their living situation most—the moment they landed in Stella Wright Housing Projects, she worked hard to get her and her sons out, thus teaching George that the ghetto was not somewhere he should aim to be for his whole life; he could aspire to go to greater places rather than settle…
