I will be in here coming up on my 5th year on November the 19th. I am turning 43 on November 1st tommorrow and I am working daily towards my plan to be hitting the ground running when I get out of this place. I realized something while I was speaking to my kids mother. We aren’t facing the types of adversity in this place to challenge us in a way that life does when you have to adjust to things that jump in the way of your plans. Life happens differently on the streets and there is alot of adversity. I know that you cannot simulate that in here. She asked me what I wanted to do when I come home and I told her I want to live. I said that I won’t know how things are when I get out so I am coming up with multiple plans that can yield the things that will help to sustain me. I am sharpening my skills in many areas that I am copetent in and new ones that I have never attempted to learn. When you have something spanning a couple of decades it makes planning alot more difficult to accomplish but that is not a reason to be deterred from working towards your goals. I am working to become better at managing how I react to outside stimuli. My communication is getting a lot better and I am learning how to teach people with learning disabilities by working in Education as a GED tutor.
