"I gave deliberate thought today to the future I wanted tomorrow. So in obtaining my Paralegal/Legal Assistant certificate from Blackstone Career Institute, I was dedicated to let time serve me, instead of just sitting here serving time.
My experience was very special, and Blackstone's professionalism was superb. They helped with my recidivism journey, provided support, encouragement and practical assistance whenever help was needed. With the knowledge and foundation, I've learned from Blackstone, combined with my associates degree, bachelor’s degree and currently working on my master's degree, the future is looking optimistic. Once I understood that rock bottom was a decision that's the moment, I decided to stop failing and take control of my life.
My future is to finish my master's and doctorate while working in the mental health field. Also building a consulting non-profit pertaining to prison consultants, prison reform, and animal law. I know if I continue to mold myself that will be one of my greatest accomplishments. Life is learning. Overcoming ignorance is the whole point of the journey. We're not supposed to know at the beginning. The whole point of venturing into uncertainty is to bring light to the darkness of key differences - in school we get the lesson, and we take the test. But in life, we get the test and it's our job to take the lesson."
