If You Don't Use It, You Will Lose It!!!!!!!

I ask myself this question, when es enough is enough? After going through the illness of my best friend moms for

6 1/2 months until her death 1-12-11 a day i'll never forget. I made a promise to her that im going to continue

being an advocator for youth violence through my writing,instructing self help classes and my speeches.



I've been looken upon as an (HERO) for saving two inmates lives, being a role model for the work i do as will

in helping;ing out people thats in need, and to be better than i was. Im still being haunter in my mind im questioning

myself are you doing enough or can you do more?.



I say this because on 1-21-11 while reading the Advocate news paper out of Baton Rouge Lousiana i read an

article ("Eward Dwayne Allen 32 dead four days after being shot in the head 1-28-10 ") Mr Allen was my roon mate

for about 12 months befor he went home,i use to talk to this young man alot and gave him three words to take

with him and keep him on the right track "People,Places,and Things" if you can give then up it's going to work

put for you,vice versa. Wayne as i called him didn't last a year on them streets because he was in the wrong ones

them same streets, East Baton Rouge swallowed up the lives of 86 people in 2010.



It hurts me to my heart to read the article and look at his picture because this question still haunts me,did i do

enough?,or could i've done more?



There's always a choice! If you don't ust it, you will lose it! It's alright to do the rights in life. You can even live as

long as my mother 82years and 8months. She lived that long by making good choices in life.



Young people lets stop the madness and stop the pain because its painful!!!
