I know a person who has turned their life around after a felony...me! My Granny raised me from a child, and I had no mom, nor dad who I thougt loved me. We were really poor and I always resented it. So, at a young age I started acting really stupid: hanging out with the wrong crowd, lying to my Granny, hanging out all night, drinking, stealing. I eventually graduated from stealing small things like clothing and tape's ( this was during the late '80's and early '90's) to breaking into buisnesses and stealing cars. I caught 2 felony U.U.M.V cases (unauthorized use of a motor vehicle), 2 assault cases-one felony and one misdemeanor, and a few other cases I care not to mention. I spent a total of 9 years on probation, 1 year in prison and over $20,000 in court costs, fines, restitution and other fees throughout my entire life of crime( which is certainly nothing to brag about ). I caught a lucky break, which is more than I can say for a couple of other persons I know who were living just as raw as I was at the time. Of course, I am not proud of all the things that I've done in my past, but then I am also not ashamed of what I've done because I paid my dues in full.
Nowadays, I'm a mother, and full-time college student currently pursuing a degree in History ( I also plan to minor in sociology). I work part-time, have a nice little home, and I obey all laws! If I had to live my life all over again, I would never have done any of the things I did that was outside the law. I can't take any of it back, but I can share my story so maybe other young people wo'nt make the same mistake.
