It is home to families that have faced generation after generation of violence, a lack of resources, and little chance at upward mobility. Cannon helped found DRW College Prep, a charter school <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/galleries\/2014\/08\/27\/25-high-performing-low-income-changemaker-schools.html#259dcbab-0837-482a-9432-6ab528ef74c7\">the Daily Beast named<\/a> the 4th most change-making high school in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you have an area of entrenched poverty, where you have an area where you don\u2019t see a lot of people making it, you sort of assume that\u2019s your plight too,\u201d Cannon said.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"New kids on The Bloc: How one boxing coach is breaking down Chicago&#039;s barriers\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/198699829?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>He learned early on about how youths get trapped in crippling expectations.<\/p>\n<p>He was seven years old when he moved from an affluent area of town to a nearby working-class neighborhood in Kentucky. On the first day at his new school, Cannon spelled words that were well below his reading level, connected dotted lines he\u2019d long before drawn. He went home in tears.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey think I\u2019m stupid,\u201d he told his mother.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, he didn\u2019t understand the socioeconomic significance, but he saw that the school was blacker and browner than the previous one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of a sudden they expect less of us,\u201d Cannon remembered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLess\u201d followed him to high school, where a student could call him \u201cn&#8212;&#8211;\u201d or \u201cmonkey\u201d and still get elected prom king. It\u2019s a memory Cannon is only coming to terms with now as something that should never be normal.<\/p>\n<p>He graduated from that high school and studied social work at University of Kentucky.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019d heard rumors about his father being a good boxer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never really had anything to do with my father growing up,\u201d Cannon said. \u201cI was curious as to whether or not, I don\u2019t know, maybe something got passed down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And if by genes or natural talent, when he first stepped into the boxing match, it just made sense. He worked his way up to winning the National Collegiate Boxing Championship for his university in 2009. But after tearing his rotator twice in college, he took a break from the ring and \u2013 with the same feeling he had at 7 years old \u2013 joined Teach for America.<\/p>\n<p>Cannon responded to the same call-to-action when he helped found a charter school in Chicago. He opened the doors to DRW College Prep as a reading teacher. He\u2019s become a health and fitness teacher there, lead trainer at DRW Boxing Club, and founder of The Bloc, which will provide resources that help students develop technical skills and gain internship experiences with corporate partners in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>On a muggy July day at a North Side coffee shop, Cannon admitted, humble smile intact, that he won\u2019t be coaching for a couple weeks. Another injury, this time a torn ligament. It\u2019s a reminder of the strain and discipline of boxing, though it doesn\u2019t faze him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFinances [for the school] are scarce,\u201d Dean Cecilia Alcarez said. \u201cJamyle went above and beyond to get his own funding [for the club.] He took initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It took a lot of small talk and mingling with businesses throughout the city, but the self-described social introvert grew his club from just eight students in a classroom to 20 young boxers in a fully-equipped gym. That number grows year after year. Consistently, students\u2019 GPAs rise as behavior reports drop for those in the program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m doing something better than getting in trouble,\u201d sophomore Keyon Pass said. Before boxing, Pass knew he wanted to go to Harvard and become an FBI agent, but he wasn\u2019t taking the steps to get there. Through Cannon\u2019s program, Pass is opening his own horizons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy community is bad and I want to make a change,\u201d he said. \u201cKeep kids out of trouble, create programs so my friends won\u2019t get on the streets. Taking away stuff that don\u2019t need to be on the streets, like drugs and violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This year, Cannon is making changes to the current boxing schedule. Students have regular boxing lessons twice a week, but on Wednesdays they either focus on studies or build the skills needed for the internships Cannon lined up for summer 2017.<\/p>\n<p>The coach looked down at the table as he would several times before speaking, always careful with his words.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to make kids think they have to escape from where they are,\u201d Cannon said, \u201cbut I want them to know that there are other things to aspire to and good things to bring back to the community when they find a way to reach success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For some students who will be participating in the internship program, this will be their first time in downtown Chicago. It\u2019s not just an internship, nor is it just a boxing program: It is widening the optics of Chicago\u2019s youth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of students have changed in their demeanor,\u201d Alcarez said. \u201cThey\u2019ve changed from reactionary to feeling that they\u2019re part of the community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over the summer, attendance was low due to six of Cannon\u2019s kids getting accepted into Summer of a Lifetime, a program that sends low-income students to colleges across the U.S. The program itself has a 10 percent acceptance rate at DRW Prep, but that rate increases to 80 percent for Cannon\u2019s boxing students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s always a lot more than they expected it to be,\u201d Cannon said, laughing. \u201cFor one, getting out there on their own \u2013 they\u2019re living on campus in a completely different environment than what they\u2019re used to. The first kid we got in \u2013 his name is Tyler \u2013 he came back convinced of his potential. He went from confident to convinced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Without raising the standard of what Cannon expects from his kids, and without recognizing the worth of education and providing students resources, getting into trouble is an appealing alternative to school for a lot kids.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI view gangs as a problem,\u201d Cannon said. \u201cI also view gangs as a reaction to a situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s not painting a church-boy image for the people who do bad things, but he\u2019s not saying they should be written off as hopeless.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat again stops us from doing what we need to do,\u201d Cannon said, \u201cfrom getting people out of a life that is detrimental to a community. I think a lot of people, when they talk about the West Side, they forget that the gang is not the neighborhood, that people have hopes and wishes that go beyond that life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That is one thing that news coverage tends to miss.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKids are kids,\u201d Cannon said. \u201cKids are just kids and they\u2019re worthy of our support and resources. And once you recognize that \u2013 if you believe that a kid on the West Side is a kid who is capable of being talented \u2013 you know that it\u2019s not a hopeless situation. You know that something could be done, and that leads you to take action to do something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Keyon Pass is taking action for his friends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always help them out,\u201d he said. \u201cMy friends, they don\u2019t think on their own. I try to help them think on their own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cannon has been taking action on the rising sophomore about his academics. And the more he gets on him and nags him, the more Pass improves. But it\u2019s not only about the grades.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Cannon is like a father because I never had one,\u201d Pass said. \u201cBefore boxing my life drew me away from what I am now. I came a long way.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"featurecaption\">Photo at top: Jamyle Cannon, right, coaches a young boxer at DRW Boxing Club in North Lawndale.
