Let me start by saying that I have been working hard the past two months not to use cuss words. It has been something I wanted to change many times through out the past few yrs. I usually pick up on others vocabulary if I spend enough time around them or that was my past behaviors. I know that in being able to control my thoughts I can also control my words that lead to my actions. Cuss words are the worst and I want to expel them from my vocabulary completely. The past two weeks has been a big effort on my part to be able to accomplish my goal. It may seem that my goal here is very small to others but for me all these small goals are for something much much bigger. When I first got into the V.T electrical program I was in between one unit team meeting to another. I had told my family I may be going to be moved to another prison closer to home but If I happen to get into this electrical program I had been inquiring about for more than six months before my next team I am going to choose to stay put right here in Aliceville and take advantage of this V.T program. inquiring I did get in and am on the last few months of completing it. Getting that educational opportunity was huge for me and even though I want more than anything to be closer to home I had to stay for the class. All different kinds of doors have opened up for me now and am ready for so much more to come. Even the smallest actions can make the biggest difference. This program has also started to guide me in a way that I have learned a few things from I know I can refer back to books when faced with a obstacle and maybe find info that can help me over come a situation. I have to learn this new way of living life and face each day with a open mind and a will and determination for all I am going to face. Positivity makes all the difference as well. I thank all at Prison Professors for this program and all I have and am going to learn along the way. All that they fight for to help in areas we can work to help our selves and get out freedom back.
