My Passion

by Brian, Santa Clara

I’m going to write about this week’s topic, words from the wise, quote of the week, and being here in juvie. I get labeled as some kind of criminal but in reality in the outs it’s something different. In the outs I play in a band. I play Corridos to all my raza that slaps Mex music. The instrument I play is the tuba. It’s my passion since I was fourteen years of age. It’s funny how people here see me as a bad person. I mean, I did do some wrong, but you can always fix your mistakes. 

And getting back on topic, I know I got good things I’m going back to in the outs. People just got to see reality and not judge you by where you are at. In this case, it’s juvie. 

Like people in here don’t know what you lived in the past. They don’t know nothing about your life, the good things you may love. Like I work, I do construction, I play in a band. I own my own car. It’s an ’08 Corvette 206. 

I have good things but everyone is not perfect in this world. Everyone makes mistakes in life but you learn from them and people got to see that not just in juvie, even in the outs, people can’t judge you by the way you look or your status you are. Not everyone is the same. We all humans.
