#1 I was extremely proud when I graduated from high school, and I felt different than my peers. I was eager to get home and meet my new gang friends, who made Joe Johnson, the king of the school, look weak. I was excited to be a Ghetto Star.

#2 I was eventually invited to join a gang, and I accepted. I was sent to steal a car, and I did. I was the perfect sentry, for if any movement had occurred or any light had flashed, I would have fired six rounds into the area.

#3 I was jumped in by the Crips, and I was made to stand and fight. I was hit by the gang members, and I felt like a pinball. I knew that if I went down again, I would be kicked.

#4 We went to confront the Bloods, and I was eager to show my worth. I was assigned to shoot the. 38, which I did, along with eight shots from the. 38.
