Terrance, 34
Incarcerated: 1 year
Housed: San Quentin State Prison, California

I call my mom everyday to make sure her emotional, mental, and spiritual life are intact. My mother and I have walked through drifts and tribulations together. She has built a strong young man. I look at my mothers pictures almost everyday because we are all we got. I want to be just like her because she is a great mother and grandmother.  I’m so grateful and thankful for my mother. I love her dearly. I have learned that I must go after my goals to make my family proud of me. They would be surprised by my goals of growing old with all my family, getting to a point where I am financially secure, and they would be amazed with my advanced technology projects that I must finish. My goals keep me up and energized, not ever giving up.
