Journal Entry

As I reflect on the journey that brought me here, I choose to view this challenging chapter not as the end of a story — but as the start of a new one. Every setback holds the seed of a comeback.

I have committed myself to growth through education, service, and discipline. I have worked closely with the Prison Professors team to contribute a Master Course on entrepreneurship, aiming to equip others with tools for a better future.

Fitness has become my anchor — I follow high-volume bodyweight routines inspired by Iron Wolf, focusing on burpees, pull-ups, squats, and endurance training. Each workout reminds me that resilience is built one repetition at a time, and every small act of discipline is a victory over circumstance.

Although I cannot change the past, I can control my choices moving forward. I am determined to prove — through actions, not just words — that I am committed to rebuilding, contributing, and honoring the opportunities that lie ahead.
