I was twelve years old when I got put in juvenile hall for fighting a kid and knocked out the kids teeth. I was in there for two weeks. The judge didn’t release me to my dad, the judge put me in a group home. The group home wasn’t bad. I became close to a couple of the staff, Eddy and Brenda. They were the coolest people ever.

When I was in the group home it was the worst year of my life. I was in the seventh grade and I went to Val Verde community school. Val
