Strive for Betterment

by Sleepy

If you have been incarcerated my ideas for them staying out is to get a job and find something to do. Get yourself a girl (or boy) that will keep you out of trouble. I know you don’t like being locked up because I definitely don’t like being here in these cells. Keep busy and find a hobby you like to do. Many inmates like being in jail because they don’t have a place to stay. 

Being locked up away from my family makes me want to strive for betterment and be someone in life. I want to go to college and get my education so I can make my city and my hood a better place. I could do something with my life so everybody else can do it too. 

My mom and siblings are happy because I graduated high school so the next step is college. There are many hobbies I got and like to do and enjoy. I want to be the first from my hood and boys to graduate from college. I also know that it’s going to be difficult and there’s going to be many challenges ahead, but I’m ready to face them and overcome those challenges.
