First thing I want to touch on about my juvenile charges is people could have got hurt. And by the grace of God, thankfully nobody did because we were young and reckless. And I think about that all the time. I never want to minimize the nature of the seriousness of that crime. I do want to emphasize though, that I was a 15, 16-year-old child, I had yet to hit any kind of real puberty. I hadn’t hit my last growth spurt at that point, I was six inches smaller than I would end up being or seven inches in life. And just, I mean, just just in physical. So think of the mental growth. You know, they say the brain doesn’t develop until you’re 25. I was almost a decade behind that. And I was charged as an adult. years before I could buy a beer, lease an apartment, get a pack of cigarettes, I missed all of these things. But I was treated as an adult. I missed all of my high school years. I didn’t get my GED until I was in jail the third or fourth time in my 20s. So you’re like What else do you do? By the end? You’re kind of driven to the streets. You know, I feel like the justice system at that point kind of parked me in my only set path. And to this day as a 38, 39 year old man, I was just tearing down a house because the community wouldn’t let me be a part of the golf course because of my felony.
