Today I was able to make it to the morning yard and play basketball. It’s amazing how much talent is trapped behind these fences. I know talent without hard work and the right choices is useless. I’m still working on cultivating my talents as a speaker and a leader. I received pictures from my mom yesterday of my family. It’s been a little over 6 years since I’ve seen them. My sisters are both pregnant, so I will be having a few more nephews(they’re both having boys). I pray they never have to be in a place like this. I know we have to teach the next generation to be better than us, but with all the young men I see coming to prison it seems like we are failing. I wonder what can be done from here to try to help some of the at risk youth, the ones in gangs and on drugs?
