When I was eight years old, I went to prison. At the age of nine they didn't know what to do with me, so they put me in adult prison for another four years. By 17 I'd been expelled from public schools and was in a charter school where Boomerang was being held. I sat in the back of the room with my black hoodie over my head and never said a word. At the end of the three days I knew this was for real, and even I stood a chance of getting my life back. After that I went to night school and made up three and a half years of high school credits in six months. Then I got certified as an electrician. I don’t know where I’d be if it weren't for Boomerang and Andre and Jeannette who believed in me and always knew I could do it. My big dream is to help other kids stay out of prison.
