I got this case Nov.4″21. I have been in and out of the system since I was 14 and am now 41 yrs old. I know how I have done all my time before and even though there were times where I did a little bit different stuff I was always so sure I was going to be more successful when I got out at getting my life together and not turning back to the streets. The truth was I didn’t ever invest to much to make that change happen. This time I got all these yrs FAR away from my family and just knew this was the last time I wanted to do this. I have been working hard to change those circumstances for me when I get out this time. I have accomplished getting my GED and am now in a V.T. electrical class and will be done with that this Dec. I always knew my biggest obstacle was not having an education and devoted every opportunity to learn anything and everything I possibly can this time. I don’t want to waste one min of my time while I have this chance when I seen what you had to offer it was like an answered prayer to help me along this path of change. I need all the help I can get and am willing to do whatever I have to to get to being successful. I don’t really know how to reach out to others to make those connections I need to the outside world. I tried with the college situation and was turned down and that is as far as I have gotten with the opportunity that this prison has to offer and what I have been able to do with the contact that I do have with the outside world. I am working very hard to complete the book I have received from you all at prison professors’ talent. I success after prison and am finding it very helpful. I am going to keep moving forward with all that I can to put this behind me with a positive outcome and not have to say my time was wasted not doing anything this time around.
