I believe that I have been through life with a struggle. Right now I feel I am labeled as inmate 3306. Underneath all of the stigma I am a person. I am a fighter and I have strength. I have made mistakes, however I am taking the proper steps to make changes to my life. I am searching for clarity and supportive people who will help me on my journey. I am currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree and I am hoping to do it in social work. I truly believe that every human on this earth does deserve a second chance for change. I am on a journey and I am eager to spread my wings and fly. I hope I can find positive people who will help me with my fight.
