Breaking and Entering, and Drug Trafficking.
Last, Fred is 22 years old, who is unable to read due to the fact he dropped out of high school. He has two children and lives with his grandmother due to his mother being a drug dealer. Fred soon developed a problem with women because he lacked the understanding of why his mother wasn’t present. Once he was charged with sexual imposition, that later lead to him selling drugs.
During the program, the Seekers learned a lot of valuable lessons from J. J was man of many talents. He practiced yoga, prayed, ran marathons, and even had a black belt in martial arts. Along with help, J taught the seekers how to seek education, create a positive cocoon, to choose friends wisely, and how to control their emotions. Also, the seekers were taught to create visions, how to find the positive in any situation, and most of all how to be great.
Though some Seekers was shaky about the outcome, they all found out at the end how much similarities they had. While all was faced with serious charges the only right way out was to deal with the consequence of those decisions. Though Fred had ran away from the camp, he still pled guilty and he received 8 years. Owen plead no contest and received two years of probation and twenty months of batters and anger management classes. Tony plead guilty and received two years in prison.
Will plead guilty and received five years in prison. Luckily Russy ended up recovering from the gunshot wounds. Jeff plead guilty and received
1 year in prison with the possibility to be released after six months. I believe behind each person lies a great story, and you can never judge a person based off the first encounter with them. As I read this book, it made me think about my actions, or should I say reaction. Also, about how worst off things could have been. As a child, I grew up very privileged. I was raised by both parents, who both attended and graduated from
college.
