Angelina
Jolie Urges Kids To Get
Educated
Angelina
Jolie
will insist her kids get
good grades at school
because she wants them
to "do good things" and
become "good
people".
The
actress-turned-humanitarian,
who has two adopted
children, Maddox and
Zahara, and boyfriend
Brad
Pitt's
baby on the way, is
campaigning for better
education in Africa and
she insists her own
children will prove her
theory that every child
deserves a good
education.
Of
Ethiopian daughter
Zahara, Jolie says,
"She's so smart and so
strong and her potential
as a woman one day is
great. To multiply her
by thousands, that is
the thing I can see so
clearly when I look at
her."
And
she fears her adopted
son, Maddox, would have
been a street child in
his native Cambodia if
Jolie hadn't taken him
in and given him the
means for a better
life.
She
adds, "In all
probability what would
have happened to Maddox
he would've probably
been one of the kids
doing the
garbage-picking in the
streets and he would
have been on his own.
I'm happy for them that
they're gonna have all
this education and I
hope with it they do
good things and they're
good people."
