Break the cycle of poverty through parent-child bonds!
私は父親のいない貧困家庭で育ち、自らも低学歴・低所得となりました。
I grew up in a poor family without a father and became poorly educated and low-income myself.
私と結婚した妻も育った環境は違えど低学歴・低所得ですので、早い話が似たもの夫婦です。
My wife and I are also low-educated and low-income, although we grew up in different environments, so we are a similar couple, to put it simply.
そんな私達の元に生まれてきた命を目の当たりにした時、取り返しのつかない後悔が襲いました。
We were struck with an irrevocable regret when we saw the life that had been born to us.
【このままでは、この子は生まれながらに私達が作った負を背負ってしまう】
If we don't do something about it, this child will carry the negativity we created at birth.
心の闇と闘う毎日を過ごし生活破綻寸前まで追い込まれた時、私は息子を世代間連鎖の被害者にはさせまいと、負の連鎖をここで終わらせる決意をしました。
When I was on the verge of bankruptcy after spending every day battling the darkness in my heart, I made a decision to end the negative chain of events here, so that my son would not become a victim of the intergenerational chain.
息子は私とは違う。
My son is not like me.
可能性を広げてあげたい。
I want to expand the possibilities.
どんなことをしてでも生きる道を与えてあげたい。
We want to give them a way to live, no matter what it takes.
決して環境を言い訳にはしない。
Never use the environment as an excuse.
そう決心すると【身を捨ててこそ浮かぶ瀬もあれ】を実行していきます。
When you make up your mind to do so, you will do what you can only do by sacrificing yourself.
そして、その核となるものは、私が幼い頃から求め続けた【理想の父親】に自分自身がなることでした。
And at the core of it all was to become the "ideal father" myself, something I had been seeking since I was a child.
経済格差で広がる学力は【思考】で埋めればいい。
Academic achievement, which is widening due to economic disparity, can be filled with "thinking".
考えろ！ そして利用しろ！
Think! And use it!
親子で道を切り拓いていけ！
Parents and children should pave the way together!
