Matthew's Story

Life Divorced with two kids. Thanking the Lord for His many blessings. Allahu Akbar (Praise God) School My life during the high school years were rough. When I was in school I had a blast, enjoyed my time there. After school was when reality kicked in, poor as hell, not knowing what the hell was going to happen, hustling to survive. I loved school because it gave me the knowledge that I needed to make a better life for myself. It was my outlet from the harsh reality I was living in my teenage years. Being in the band, hanging with my comrades in the school and most importantly, learning the skills that would aid me in my quest for success helped me escape the reality that I was a poor black kid, struggling to survive, refusing to become a statistic. Now I'm a success, but far from where I believe I'm supposed to be. I give all thanks and praise to God, and will continue to seek more knowledge and guidance from Him.

minal Justice major at Troy State University, and I am still serving in the Army. Workplace I am still in the Army. I am a Signal Support Specialist or Computer Analyst/Systems Administrator/Phone Guy/Cable Guy for those civilians out there. Hard work, yeah but I'm use to it. I have also done some time teaching at the Cultural Arts Center on 62 Street and 22 Ave. It was pretty cool, found out how much disrespect our beautiful Black children have for authority. Especially against their own kind. I'd do it again though, I like molding young minds. I enjoy molding old ones too, it just takes more time. Military I am still serving in the US Army. I love this job. Everything except for the combat tours. The Middle East was nothing but desert, but it was beautiful. I just wish I could've went there under more peaceful terms. Lot of history there. Well like I said, I'm still in the Army. Just a few years shy of 10 yrs of dedicated government service. I've had some ups, some downs and some what the f**k moments since I've been in, but no complaints, no regrets.
