The system: first they locked me up. I hated them but looking back they have made me into a better person—clean, employed, on right path for a better future than before.

I used to think the same thing. I would just blame cops, my probation officer, or my judge for everything that was happening. Looking back on it, it was stupid blaming them. All of the things that happened was because of my own choices. If I wouldn't have done the things I did, I wouldn't be in this situation.
I really like this one because it lets me know that maybe someday that will happen to me too. All I feel towards the system is hate and I feel like it will always be that way.all they have done to my life is make it harder,tearing me from the ones I love,ripping out all the hope I have. But maybe I will succeed in their and my family's eyes someday. Staying clean with the opportunities I have is one of the hardest things Ive ever done. This gives me hope.

When I went to DT for the first time I wanted to die but after a month and a halve of being there a guest speaker came and said that we should thing of goals and to change for the better good so we don't end up in here again or worst prison. So when I was a noticed to be going to a group home I was he espy Brouwer I would get the treatment. I need, and to see my family again and they are my motivation.
Yeah you always have to look back and see that it helps you in the long run. Every time I was locked up I would sit and think what is it that I have to change so that I won't come back. And see what I can do to avoid the temptation of drugs.
It seems like we always think "the system" is the bad guy. Like they're just there to strip us of what we love and ruin our lives. What a lot of us don't realize is that it was created with the goal of helping, even though in some aspects it is corrupted. It's encouraging that you have realized it isn't ALL the system.
Shannon I always admire people for thanking the system or at least being grateful for what they did. I think it is extremely hard to handle the life so many kids are thrown into;however, if you can look at it with a positive spin as you have it takes a lot of strength. You should share your secret with everyone. :)
Hey Shannon it's your old pal Keith. I just want to let you know that it has took me five years to realize I want to be able to do as your doing— good, & righteousness. I'm glad your doing great, keep up the good work. And thanks for your comment on my twitter about my history in state's custody, and for me to really take therapy seriously.

Just don't go back to messing up again when your out. They helped put you in the direction. Stick with it and do good.
