"I was raised right. My mom kept me stable, taught me how to prepare myself for life, and taught me how to be a man. But when I was young, I started hanging out with the wrong people in the neighborhood, and I got off track. I was 14 the first time I went to jail, and that hurt my mom a whole lot to see me in trouble. The second time I was incarcerated, I served 25 years and was just released two months ago. So much happened while I was in prison, and I missed it all. I hurt my family and I hurt myself. I know I don't want to live that kind of life anymore. As I've gotten older, I've realized that if I'd listened to my mom and done what she told me, I would have had a whole different life. She's gone now, but sometimes I feel like I can still hear her voice guiding me."
