First we will talk about Dee(aka huggy bear). This guy was young wild any looking to get into trouble. The main forces were women any how many that he could associate himself with. Money was his second love, oh how he love that beautiful green paper. Dee wasn’t a push over it was all about business and trying to become successful quick. He wanted to be like the guys he saw on television they have all of the fly clothes and money. Dee did not have any reasonability or anyone to answer too. You might think he was living the good life.
At any giving time Dee would spend $500 to $700 on clothing or working on his car. He lived in the clubs on the weekends. Always eating out and just wasting money on stupid stuff. Every three months Dee would have the latest cellular phone or the hottest electronics that was out at the time. Dee also hung out with group of guys that were not upstanding citizens.
Derrick on the other hand was very reasonable he was much older. This guy was look forward to meeting someone special. Also Derrick was attending college trying to make him self more marketable. Before he know it he had meet a beautiful young lady, she also was attending college. Slowly Dee was evolving into Derrick.
He found himself shying away from going to the clubs. Then all of excessive spend came to a halt. Derrick did not care about all of the women he meet before. It was something about this woman he met in college; after a few years of dating finally they got married and had children. If I had to choose again it would be Derrick not Dee.
Fab Five Turn Around My memory of five to ten years ago of my self makes me just want to bless the source of life for me being here right now, allowing me with choice. That was one of my weaknesses then and today sometimes and maybe tomorrow but the bless thing about it is me willing to better my growth and potentials, which was something I wasn’t trying to do year ago. See I had a nice concept and very driving to become better in my situation but I never would stick with it. Hey I had a pretty comfortable income at a young age; I just wasn’t educating my opportunities. I was suck. Wasn’t really acting like a wise man, I off balanced in my life, still hanging with the wrong crowd, I almost lost all right conscious. Man I wasn’t thinking clear at all, hanging out all night, sleeping with plenty of women that I really didn’t know or wanted to know. Tell you the truth all my friends or thought they where my friends, well there all dead or in prison. It seems at that time in my life the decisions I was making just kept digging a deeper hole in my life. So to make this a little short two years ago I started climbing and seeking truth that was in me, for me the first thing I did was take it to church that I had a little bit knowing about from youth, but never toke seriously. Not just going on Sundays then the next day telling everybody what they should do or don’t. But actually willing to grow in love spiritually and learning how to love and yea! Its just everyday task for me working at turning away from my bad habits that still try’s pull my coat every now and then. But I thank God for empowering me each day, so then I begin to read more positive material and be around more living energy, I still have my universal fun. Just think before I move.
Five years ago, my life was crazy. Things were hard for me. I can remember I was in the process of being in a lot of trouble. This girl was talking a whole bunch of junk and she said something about my mother, and I snapped. I had a string in my hand and I lost my mind and strangled her. Thankfully she didn’t die. Next thing I know m sitting in the court room facing an attempted murder charge all because I couldn’t control my anger. Thankfully the judge knew my situation and he sentenced me to juvenile detention and a group home after. He told me if I completed my programs successfully them he will drop my attempted murder charge. Being locked down made me realize a lot of things. I needed to change my way of living. The only thing that kept me focused was playing basketball and singing. When basketball season was over it destroyed me. When I was locked up I thought a lot and decided to change my ways. Over the years I gradually grew up. I continue playing basketball and I moved from New Jersey to Virginia. That was five years ago. Today I gradated from high school and I am currently in college. Now I have two high school diplomas. In New Jersey, they don’t expect a lot of people to graduate. So I did so well in Salem high school and graduated, that Perth Amboy High school sent me a high school diploma because they were so proud of me. Now I have so many goals. I am doing the right thing with my life. I am so proud of my progress.
I have grown over the last five years growing and developing myself. Over the years I have learn to control my temper and look forward to the future. If you ask me five years ago about my future I had no answer because I had no goals and nothing to think about as far as my future. I was happy just taking care of my family. But over the here I have learn that I need to do something for myself. So with help of family and friend, to put me focuses. But now I have and answer. My family have always came first, but thinks to there support I’m able to but my wanted first and improve myself. If u have know me five years back you would have thought I was very unapproachable and very intimidating. I was trying to be but that what people often to me. So hopefully I have improved……
Once a Good Girl Goes Bad Try Once a Bad Girl Goes Good
Five years ago I would call myself an out cast. I didnt care about anything, not even my self. I was almost 15 then. School drove me crazy I hated it there. My grades suffered really bad and I didnt have much of a social life. T-shirt and jean, is what I would wear to school, heck I didnt care what the other students thaught of me. When I was home, everything was worse. My sister and I did nothing but fight and try to find ways to get eachother into trouble, and my mother and I just didnt get a long. Life was horrible. I moved out when I was 17 years old all because I hated my sister and my mothers boyfriend and I couldnt take it anymore. This terrible thing I was continued till March of 2007 when I moved to Virginia. Well other then my mom and I not getting along that changed in November 3 years ago. Anywho, once I moved to Virginia my sister and I stoped fighting and miss eachother, and I dont hate my mothers boyfriend anymore. As for school well I applyed for college and I am not attending ECPI College of technolog. Guess What? I know longer dress bad or could care less about what my grades are and what others think of me. No. I know dress for sucess, and my grades are wounderful, at least so far. I now have a social life with two grate friends that I meet in my English 099 course and I wouldnt trade that or them for anything.

Ten Years Ago
Ten years ago I was living in Hempstead, NY. Years ago many people named
me every name in book you could ever think of like bad a**, problem child, cant get rite,
and much more. I believe growing up everybody had got into some trouble or did some
things that weren’t right but you still did it. It wasn’t the fact that I was doing things to
start conflict but it was another way to have fun. We did things like throw eggs at cars
late night just for the rush. For every holiday there was we had I’ll own little celebration.
I’m telling you we had crazy days back then. For Halloween we use to freeze eggs and
pack them in socks and everybody in the area would gang up and to other towns to just
act up. Christmas time we would chill little bit but if we were in the mode we would
mulishly bust people in the face with hard icy snow ball from the NY winter. Also for
Easter we would wait to the older guys come on the corner and throw eggs at them. Not
only that we use to go on top of the roof and shot Bee-Bee guns and paint guns at the
police cars. Just looking back from then and now is a big change for me. I went from
being one of the most trouble’s kid that everybody loved to a more mature and growing
young man. Everyday I sit and think that what if people did us how they do today. The
thing I mean is shooting each other for no reason but what we were doing would entitle
them with more the right to but they didn’t or what if the police caught us shooting bee-
bee guns and paint guns off roof tops? Now I’m attending a college to make a better life
for me and my family but when read this, just picture yourself doing these things. Its
crazy tho but I wouldn’t change nothing because it made me the person who am today.
