Erick's Horror Story

My name is Erick. I am 17 years old and currently in a maximum security prison serving a five year sentence. It is still hard for me to believe I am actually around people who were molesting kids my age. I am in a cell 23 hours a day.

I use my time to think about all the mistakes I have done in life and I am looking for a way to change that now.
What is really helping me change is thinking of all the suffering I have put my family through and remembering what I myself have been through.

I have had friends get shot not two feet in front of me because of gang violence. Since I was 9 years old, I thought being in a gang was everything I wanted in life because that is all I knew.

I left my education and family for my gang. When I was first arrested I had no education at all and now I find myself reading books to further my education and better myself, not because I am in prison, but because I know it will only help me in the future.

What I am looking for is friends, positive minds and suggestions or comments. I appreciate your time.
