Christopher is a graduate student in social work. He is from Chicago, he lived with his family. It was really hard for him because back then there was a lot of gangs he either had to join the gang or get beat up by the other gangs. But he got over that went to school and got great things happened to him.
Christopher joined a gang or he would get beat up. He thought all these people well gangs were bad. Gangs would just beat up kids for no reason. Christopher was about 15 years old when he got arrested for trying to defend himself from another gang. He was going to be charged as an adult. But he picked up a bible and after that chose school and he got so far. His best friend passed away when he was 16 that was a very hard time for him but he kept on and I beat his best friend his looking down at him and is very proud at him.
Getting an education is very important, that one of the advice Christopher gave us. He feels like he’s getting a great education but not others go to great schools. He thinks cps is a “hot mess!” but not giving up will make you successful. He never thought of dropping out of school. His high school experience was horrible in Chicago.
Christopher’s dream when he was younger was to be in the NBA, he did not accomplish it though, he looked up to all the NBA players. But after he got arrested he was discard to school. One thing he told us was to never give up, it will make you stronger if you don’t. one goal that he will like to accomplish will be, to become the mayor of Chicago by the time he’s 35. He would like to finish school.
Christopher is studying how to help people with their emotions. Hes helping the community by social work to help others on how they feel. He knows how to help others because he got help himself while he was leaving his leaving his gang.
