“I learned that the things I was involved in before coming to Abraxas will eventually get me in jail for a long time or lead to my death.  I learned that not everyone is who they say they are or pretend to be.  Through Unarmed groups, I know I am not alone – all of the kids in this group participated in the same kinds of gun violence even though we were from different counties, we did the same things and made the same mistakes.  It doesn’t matter what you say, it is what you do and how you do it that matters.  I’ve learned I don’t want this as part of my life.”
