Quotations
from Church Members:
On the importance
of family: I am no perfect kid. I've been in some trouble. But
it is family that helps you deal with that trouble. Like when
I came back to Indianapolis when my mom died, I was a nervous
wreck. No one could understand me. I disrespected people. I didn't
want to be here. I thought my family was against me because of
the controversial issues that were going back and forth between
my mom's family and my father's family. I didn't think anybody
had my back. I didn't think nobody loved me, so I wouldn't give
them a chance either. So, my family had to squeeze their love
into me and try to help me out. Now, I believe that what is keeping
me away from the crowd and being in jail is my family. They don't
go around me. They just go straight in it. I have the best family
in the world. They will tell me when I am wrong, and they still
fight for me when I am wrong. They have my back to the fullest.
