LIFE IS NOT A GAME.

FROM THE TENDER AGE OF 16 UNTIL THE MATURE AGE OF 31 I WAS INCARCERATED (15 LONG HARD YEAR'S) IN STATE, PRIVATE AND FEDERAL PRISON'S ALL OVER THE U.S AND I'VE BEEN HOME OVER A YEAR AND AHALF NOW AND THE CHANGE THAT I'VE MADE WITH MY LIFE HAS SHOWN ME A NEW WAY OF LIVING AND THINKING AND IM STILL GETTING USED TO IT, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT I TRUELY LIKE.WHEN IT COMES TO WORKING IT'S BEEN HARD ON ME BECAUSE OF MY PAST AND I EXPECTED THAT, BUT I'VE BEEN VOLUNTEERING MY TIME BY MENTORING A FEW PEOPLE, SPEAKING AT A FEW FOURM'S, I PUT TOGETHER A HANDBOOK, IM TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER A DOCUMETRY AND A FEW OTHER POSTIVE THINGS. I WANTED TO MAKE UP A BLOG BECAUSE I FEEL THAT MY STORY CAN HELP ALOT OF PEOPLE AND IF SOMEONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING I CAN DO MY BEST TO ANSWER THEM. I WANT TO USE MY EXPERIENCE TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE IN LIFE AND TO ME THATS GIVEN BACK TO COMMUNITY AND SOCIETY. I BELIEVE THAT IT'S ALOT OF THINGS THATS ON T.V THAT CONFUSE ALOT OF KID'S, TEEN'S AND YOUNG ADULT'S AND I WANT TO TRY AND DO MY PART AND GET THEM THE TRUTH.THE PRISON'S THAT I WAS IN OVER THE YEAR'S;D.C JAIL,LORTON(YC-1-YC-2,THE MAX AKA THE WALL), CCA PRIVATE PRISON IN OHIO,A COUNTY JAIL IN OHIO,RED ONION STATE PRISON (MAX)IN V.A, THE ADX- SUPER MAX IN FLORENCE COLORADO AND LEWISBURG FED. PEN. IN P.A... THE PERSON THATS DOING THE TIME MUST WANT TO CHANGE THEIR LIFE BEFORE ANY CHANGE CAN START. IT TOOK ME YEARS TO CHANGE MY LIFE AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO START MY CHANGE SOONER, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO CHANGE AND THAT MAY SOUND CRAZY TO MOST PEOPLE BUT IN REALITY WE WOULDN'T NEED A SRINK IF WE ALL KNEW HOW TO CHANGE. I HAD TO FIRST FIND OUT WHAT A MAN WAS AND THEN TRY TO LEARN HOW TO CHANGE MY WAYS AND AFTER SOME ROAD BLOCKS I FOUND MY WAY AND IM DOING GOOD IF I MAY SAY SO. THE NEXT TIME I WILL TELL YOU'LL WHY I WENT TO PRISON.! PEOPLE TRY TO LEARN FROM OTHER PEOPLES EXPERIENCE'S BECAUSE IF IT'S BAD YOU DON'T NEED TO GO THROUGH IT.
