Here is my first entry for my bio.
I have been debating on what I should write but
Michael’s suggestions have helped me.
I am currently serving a 37yr sentence.
I have been in for 18yrs.
I was locked up for 2 of those years mentally and physically. I started to reform myself and use these years to better myself. I started out a crook like everyone else.
I was in a gang\association however you want to see it. I did over a year in the s.h.u. I read over 195 books at that time. Once I got out I unlocked myself to change. I started studying the bible
with Jehovah’s Witnesses. I took all kinds of courses available here
in the system. I became an instructor in wellness, acrylic painting,
and now self-help classes. all three fields I had to learn during this time.
I even took a correspondence college course in pesticide management with Purdue University. I served in the suicide prevention program for I believe 2yrs. I enjoyed what I learned about suicide prevention and saw that there are not enough out there or people promoting it. but more people committing
suicide in prison and on the streets. I studied what I can in sign language.
I know over 100 signs and plan to help the greatly neglected hard of hearing and deaf community out there once I am released I will take courses to do this. I left the gang\association life behind and became a baptized Jehovah’s Witness and conduct bible studies with interested ones and go out to the
recreation yard and display bible based material and talk to ones who are interested. I plan to use my sign language abilities in the future in this field as well. Everyone needs the message. This all took me
all these years to make changes. I know I am not the same person I was when I got arrested. There is more to this than what I am saying here. This is just a quick rundown. There’s more to me than this. There is more to my life in here or out there. these walls and fences are what they are.
I hope to be released somehow from here so I can share my greatness and
what I have become outside of those walls and fences. I started in a u.s.p. made my way to low-security prison now. next is home somehow some way. I decided to change and I decided to be free.
This is just the beginning. hope whoever reads this can see it’s possible they can change too no matter what.
