Through those trials and tribulations, I’ve become a threat to society. See I’m not talking about being a strong heartless malicious gangster either. I’m armed not with a gun, I’m armed with knowledge and the thought to learn more.
They continue to throw big numbers at me to scare me but I’m different from my peers, a life sentence, couldn’t change the man in me! Regardless of what happens, I will continue to grow and become a role model for my young ones and continue to make my predecessors proud.
They’ve paved the way for success so I won’t take it for granted, regardless of my current situation. I will always strive for the best and I don’t want anything else either. My mind and body will get only stronger. I’m determined to be a model to all, not a model inmate. Education is endless.
