text: if given the chance, i will change my life around and accept a more appropriate way of getting money for my family.  you see, this is the way i was raised and all i've ever known.  my father left my mother and i when i was just a young lad.  mother had to steal food to feed us and walked the streets at night. i've been a petty criminal for as long as i can remember but now with a young one on the way, i want to change.
