I was in a community of support too that really, I think, supported me in getting through that process. And then lastly, purpose. Before I went to jail, I was going to college, a four-year degree at SUNY Geneseo, which is a small university in upstate New York. I was expelled after what happened when I got arrested.

I was able to get back in after I got out of jail, and there I was able to finish out my degree. I had a couple classes left. I was able to get my degree and a plan for the future, which was to pursue my master's degree in social work. So I had a purpose to my life that really helped me go from jail to grad school within a year or so, something like that.

It was a very tough time in my life. There were days because I'd have to walk a mile to Burger King to work. I was also taking medication and some of the side effects of the medication included feeling draggy and slow and like my creative thinking was gone. It's really tough. It was a really tough time because there were a lot of times I doubted myself.

And even when trying to get pursue a master's degree in social work, I had a huge stigma over my experience that I went through. I'd attacked my dad with a knife and that was in the local news, like when the incident happened. And that created barriers for me worrying about getting accepted in the grad school. Every grad school asked, have you ever been expelled from college? I had to say yes.

And then I had to share my story in a way that would get them to understand. There was a lot of doubt. And I like to think that I was really privileged to have all those four dimensions and really strengthen those four dimensions really helped me just keep that forward momentum going. I will also add that prior to all of this, I was also a big athlete all my life. I was a very

I will also add that prior to all of this, I was also a big athlete all my life. I was a very

very dedicated distance runner. And a lot of those characteristics that I've learned in that sport, I think helped me to do the same in this process where you have to do a lot of hard work to get where you want to get and to be your idea of success with whatever it is.

Yeah, so I initially wanted to get my master's in social work to become a substance use counselor or a therapist. That was what I initially had thought of. But then in grad school, as I continued to learn about mental health from that clinical point of view and with social work, they don't just focus on direct service. That degree, they do branch out to advocacy and the more macro work.
