Do Hard Things

Writing apology letters is hard. The task always seems to drain all of my energy away.
I have to do it.
I have to honor my victims and acknowledge what I did to them.
But it's not easy, because I'm ashamed of the young man I used to be.
​I had no excuse for being so dumb.

OMCP Graduation!

Today I attended my OMCP graduation! About 80 family members came to see the event. My parents, grandma, and Uncle Cruz were in attendance. It had been two years since I last saw my grandma and a year since seeing my mom and uncle. My grandma kept crying— that made me emotional. Overall a lot of tears were shed.
​I even saw some of the high-ranking prison staff shed quiet tears.

It’s finally the week of graduation. 
People are nervous. 
I am too.

Getting closer to graduation and exam time. I’m kicking my studies up into a higher gear. Making flashcards and drilling myself. Proud of myself too.
​I’m going to be alright when exam time comes.
