I grew up with gang violence. They tried to suck me in, but I wouldn't do it. I kinda got sucked in for a while, but my grandma basically raised me, and her dying wish was for me to stop doing that. An hour later -- she told me that when she was in the hospital -- I got a call saying she had died. Her dying wish was for me to succeed. I'm the first person in my family to go to college.
