1. What are your greatest challenges in 2024 and how did you overcome them? My greatest challenge in 2024 is trying to work through my last year in prison. I have had some relocation issues and halfway house problems that were partially resolved. Also a challenge in 2024 is preparing for release from prison after 16 years being incarcerated. What will I do for a job, a place to live as probation is not allowing me to live at my hometown because I do not have a release address so they are making me release to a halfway house in a different part of the country. I will overcome those challenges and be successful making the best from those in 2025.
2. What successes are you most proud of from this year? I am most proud of my success this year as I have made it through 16 years of prison. I am healthy and still have a positive attitude and lots of motivation for me to be successful again.
3. What skills or habits do you want to develop in 2025? I want to continue to build my knowledge of my previous career as I did before. I want to be a better worker and to know all aspects of my career. If I am able to do that then I will be a valuable asset for my employer.
4. How will you stay focused and motivated to achieve your goals in 2025? This is the year of my full release from prison. Over this time I have been in here I have learned so much about myself and I am going to be a better person than before. I do not want to be my past self again nor do I want to let the mark of my conviction keep me down. I am going to show future employers that I have changed from that past.
