The Start of a New Journey

Hey everyone, I guess the only place to begin is at the beginning. I was born in Philadelphia Pa and grew up in a neighborhood known as Kensington.

I got involved in sports early on, mainly street ball since we were poor and couldn’t afford to pay for uniforms and all the other fees that came along with organized sports. I didn’t care though, I had a ball playing street ball with all my friends and going against different neighborhoods, it was great! That was until I was introduced to alcohol and then ultimately drugs. It didn’t take long until that became my life, I didn’t want to do anything else except get drunk and/or high… To be continued…
