Journal Entry

I am learning it’s important to learn to develop a strong vocabulary, write coherently and speak persuasively to open opportunities. I am practicing to build a better character. I am learning how to empower myself. I am making it a point to educate my self on a daily like read a couple of hours daily. A couple of hours to my studies and the Micheal Santos book’s. Since I work 7 hours a day Mon-Fri I try to make it a point to write down words and while working and speaking with co-workers. I used them and share with people around me the more I learn the more I want to share what I am learning. I have reached out to family members and asked for a list of college’s and or non-profits that would be willing to fund for an inmate to recieve a college drgree. The thing that has caught my eye is commercial real-estate so, I have decided to purse a college degree in engineering. I think it would be beneficial to the ends and outs that go with investing in commerical real-estate. When I am in the half-way house I can work for different non-profit organizations, developers, philanthropist, groups, firms, associations ect…the possibilites are endless. The last thing on my mind is the worry of not getting empolyed because I am a convicted felon. With the way I am investing my time in creating an even better me (cause I am already GREAT) my talents will sell them selfs. Everyday I make it a point to put forth the effort to grown in every aspect of my life. As I update my steps that I make you will see in detail how all of this will lead to a great reentry plan. VEE
