I prove to people left and right, that I am not a “danger to society” they have labeled me with. Going back to school, training dogs and by holding a job, I am proving I am a member of society.
Young and wild with no cares and no worries. That was me about 9 ½ years ago. At the age of 21, I got charged with first degree felony murder in Wichita, Kansas. Doing me, not knowing any better, and loyalty had gotten the best of me. Just when I had wanted to turn my life around and do better than the gang and drug life, my life had gotten ripped right out of the good life. I was going to school, I had my own place and was working two jobs, it meant nothing in the courtroom. My family was devastated. Never in their life time did they think any of their children would go to prison, less alone to get accused of murder. Long story short, I have turned my life around even more. I prove to people left and right, that I am not a “danger to society” they have labeled me with. Going back to school, training dogs and by holding a job, I am proving I am a member of society. The saying goes, “Tough times never last but tough people do.”
