Good for you John and congratulations. Keep working on turning your life around. I used to work at Alternative High Schools and Programs and even worked at Rikers for 2 years. I know your background and I applaud your efforts to change. I am sure you will succeed and remember to take advantage of the resources available to you. Congrats again

Honestly this piece impacted me in such a positive manner. In a way it has a slight dark side, but you just have to feel for “John Doe”. Some peoples lives are just rougher than others. I am glad to hear that despite his trauma, he still keeps a positive and level head. Great Piece Edwin, very powerful
