I am currently 17 going on 18 in 2 weeks.i was molested at 7 by a priest. I grew up in a rough circumstance and been in and out of juvenile hall. I been surrounded wit gangs, drugs and violence all my life. I want to go to college and become a homicide detective.If i get this money i want to start of at a community college, to better myself and get out the ¨hood¨, and prove people wrong. I would also like to show people that you can make it even if you've been put down all your life and came from nothing.
