I hung out on 12th street, one of the fastest strips in Detroit Michigan. I hung out most of the time with my older brother so I had to keep up. By me being the smallest and the youngest, I had my rounds of peer pressure. I went to prison at eighteen and that was just the first time. I went through the revolving doors of prison until the ages of thirty eight, so I consider myself having a doctorate degree in peer pressure. Once I finished prison and became conscious of life, I had a daughter, she became my life and kept me on a straight and narrow as best I could. My daughter and I are the best of friends. I raised her mostly on my own, by her mother being in school. My daughter had her share of school problems but we came through in flying colors and that’s what it took, both of us. So I can tell you first hand that it takes a lot of time, which most parents don’t have due to work or whatever. That’s why the ‘Dosomething Think First’ book is so important.
For the past six years I’ve gotten into Child Mentoring, and this program is the only one of its kind that I know of. ‘Dosomething.’view less
