For the last 72 months, and six years of my life, this is all I've been trying to accomplish. Just once I wanted to have JJ call my name as the poster of the month. I never thought it would happen. I'm just a guy that's dealt with many hardships, growing up on the mean streets of Orange County, California. I was entrenched in gang life at a very young age, and I've spent most of my adult life behind bars, maximum-security.

What a humbling moment this truly is.

Thanks to everyone for their kind thoughts.
