It seems that the only people who believed that I deserved a second chance is the 3 people who agreed to release me, they saw what every one else refuse to see, that I have changed and grown. After 22 years in prison I am no longer the same person. I want to live in this world and I want to contribute in a positive way. Just want a fighting (no pun intended) chance.&lt;/p&gt;

They need to be given at least a fighting chance to earn a living.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Got in trouble as teen! &amp;nbsp;Got his GED. &amp;nbsp;Served his time! Now in Trade School! &amp;nbsp;B+&amp;#39;s. &amp;nbsp;no job any where.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some has to realize People make very stupid mistakes. &amp;nbsp; Can&amp;#39;t change the past but with help could make a big difference in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Very good someone needs to know they need help and understanding.&lt;/p&gt;
