When I was 19 I stole some meat from a convention center and was charged with a felony. When I was 25 I knocked over a book case and broke my daughters arm and was charged with a felony, with an ugly name. I deeply regret these things and have lived in shame all of my life. I have went through anger management and extensive therapy, I am not the same immature anger prone boy that I was then. I am a grown, mature, mentally healthy man with a good work history. I have completely turned my life around, except financially. I have not been in a lick of trouble for twenty five years, those who know and love me and many in my community will tell you that I am a good decent man.
I am attending a driving school very soon. If anyone deserves a second chance in life it's me. I did not beat or molest, I didn't intend to hurt, I knocked over a bookshelf in a temper tantrum and hurt an innocent child.
Must I disclose this, it was so long ago? This is not something I care to discuss with a recruiter. Will I be recruited? I expect some of you will respond to call me names and put me down and damn me to hell, I've lived in shame for 25 years over this. I'm just hoping that a couple of you will understand that unfortunate things happen when you're in a fight with a mate and that people age, mature, get better and live normal productive lives.
