>> I WAS FRESH OUT OF COOK COUNTY JAIL.
I WAS WORKING ON BEING BACK STABLE.
I KNEW FRANKIE FOR OVER TEN YEARS AT THIS POINT.
HE WAS ACTUALLY COMING TO VISIT ME INSIDE THE JAIL.
WHEN I CAME HOME, HE INTRODUCED ME TO THE PROGRAM.

WE NEED RESOURCES AND PEOPLE THAT ARE REALLY SHOWING YOU THAT THEY CARE.
AND THE SUPPORT.
BECAUSE YOU COULD FEEL LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE ANYONE.
WHEN YOU COME FROM OUT OF THAT PLACE.
IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE ANYONE, IT COULD EASILY PUT YOU BACK IN THAT SITUATION.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS DIGGING DEEPER INTO YOURSELF.
WHAT ARE YOUR DREAMS AND ASPIRATION INS WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO FOR YOURSELF?
THAT'S BASICALLY IT.
ONCE YOU FIGURE THAT OUT, THE WORLD IS YOURS AND THE SKY IS THE LIMIT.
