I feel that I would at least need a sum of $5,000 to jump start my life when I get out and I feel that is small due to the fact I lost everything when I got locked up from my socks to my house. Even my identifications I need to get a job. Plus you have to be able to have some support while you are looking for a job. I do come from a very decent family but fell into the wrong things near end of my high school career. I know what I did and the path I took that led me to this point was wrong and illegal, but as the saying goes “you don’t know what you have till its gone”. Now what success looks like to me is not anything monetary at all. All I really want is to be stable in my finances of course but I want to heal and have my children and family back in my life as well as my relationship with God being restored. Then I will be fulfilled. I love to help people and I want to help people in the same situation as me one day and I hope to maybe be a part of something (like Prison Professors) that does just that as I can no longer return to finish a career in nursing with past drug charges. I can take this situation learn from it and turn it into something positive and my hope is that someone some where will take a chance on me to do so as I know they will not regret it. Thank you as always for taking the time to read my posts!
