    "The more educated I get, the less excuses I can make".. that's a whole bar.. That's why we need better education systems in the hood

      @Bud Smith An education reform is definitely necessary as well, I agree with you on that. Schools should be teaching useful lessons that can be applied to life in America

      Regardless understanding life from multiple perspectives gives you a better understanding of yourself, reading and the humanities make this possible. Not all education is bad

    This is exactly what I went through I was incarcerated luckily only 2 years. My celly taught me about the financial markets and business structure and we would talk about it all night long and go over penny stocks in the wall street journal and going over tax liens deals as a business opportunity extension. I then got out and learned to trade options as penny stocks were too risky then I learned forex which trades all around the clock. I started llc which was product based and failed but it taught me the structure. I learned about corporations and their ability to set up one easily. I taught my brother how to start his own construction business and get it creditable through a duns number and how to open a business bank account. The base of all my self taught education came from prison and wanting to better my life for me and my family. A lot of my friends ask me where did I learn all this stuff and I tell them prison and that just reinforces my thought process that anyone can go after it if they want it bad enough. I only look to successful people or people that strive for success I don't watch dumb videos of people on facebook fighting or stuff that is a waste of time. I don't talk about people, I give them the benefit of the doubt. There's so much more I want to say but to everyone out there that's struggling and wants to learn something different I do recommend stocks and currency, you can build it into a business. and possibly be financially free with patience. just remember this" patience + persistence = profits". thanks curtis for sharing your story I came acrossed it look for successful people and you're in my list.

    You can see that Sway is genuinely impressed, honoured, and in awe of how Curtis has transformed himself. As am I, it's a truly inspirational transformation story that more people in the prison system, and outside of it need to hear. I hope the brother gets out this year, so he can actualize his dreams, I think he's posts his debt to society and he deserves it.

      @F U Money u said it urself, u didnt made dumbass dicisions because you had other options to feed urself.. im sure ur mother was not a crack addict , im sure u didnt have to do burglaries to steal cereal.. that dude is smarter than both of us and still he is the one in prison.. im sure u didnt grew up half as cold as he did.. it is obv that in america there are alot of ghettos where you only get teached one way.. be happy that u didnt grew up child traumatized because it is more than "i just didnt make dumb ass decisions" trust me

    • @crizzleyo815
      @crizzleyo815 4 роки тому +2

      @F U Money u dont get the complete picture.. ofc murder isnt right, but u dont understand one thing.. u always say u made the right decisions instead of the wrong.. u always had options.. there are thousands who dont have a choice.. how did u get food when ur family was so poor ? im pretty positive u didnt do burglaries for cereal. im pretty sure u grew up poor and not traumatized.. murder is never the right thing to do, but u dont understand that people could have had it worse than u.. if anything 11 kids means there was enough food and stability to make such a big familiy.. you grew up around poor people but not the wrong people..

    • @crizzleyo815
      @crizzleyo815 4 роки тому +2

      ​@F U Money this is not about justification.. ofc murder isnt right.. but u act just because u grew up poor u know what it is getting born into a gang.. ur mom was no crack addict.. there is a big difference between a poor mom and a crack mom trust me.. and im sure u didnt saw people get killed as a kid etc! im sure u had some kind of impact to get you out of that thing u called ghetto and were not traumatized and made numb by ur surroundings.. fact is there are tons of real ghettos in the usa were people get killed on a daily for no "real" reason from ur point of view ..where u would have gang tatoos by the age of 14 or even earlier.. but yeah u would have done the right choices in those shoes right? i dont justify it, but there are really dark places were people are born cold af in this world.. i dont believe that any normal kid would kill someone if tought right.. this guy is way to smart now to do any of the things he did as a kid.. if u would be born into a real ghetto family in a real dark place, there are very slim chances u would type to me here, but would have killed someone alrdy.. i dont justify it at all.. but man u americans can get guns as easy as candy, then u sepperate poor from rich, and black from white, and wonder why this world is like this.. i can put myself into their shoes and see why their world is alot more brutal than ours, thats all.. dont be ignorant and compare urself to a murder and say i didnt do those poor choices. u dont know nothing about the world he was born into trust me

I stayed up the street from Curtis on 92nd Ave and used to walk to his apartment to go kick it with him and his siblings!! I haven't seen him since I left Oakland in '91 when I was 12.

Have you been to a school in, say, Oakland? San Francisco? If you're born on the bottom wrung as a child trying to meet your most basic needs to survive, you do not have the same opportunity as those living in suburbia.

    I want to be part of the solution. I have over 22 years in finance and didn’t realize until a few years ago how rare that was. I’ve gone to the communities and helped twelve 11-19 year old kids understand, create, run and earn income from a business and product they created. I’m in the midst of creating an online school where individuals can create a course based around their talent, skill or trade, regardless of their degree or background. Mr. Carroll and his story always fires me up!! However, I felt him when he spoke of the pressure he feels about getting out, how he wants the opportunity to experience life and not being sure of where to start. He is in deed a phenomenon who can and will find his place in helping the communities but, it’s gonna take us all to help and do. Let’s give him a hand in making a smooth transition back into society, allow him to feel freedom and let’s help as best we can to contribute any way we can to educate, protect and lovingly hold each other accountable. Just like Mr. Carroll, we all have gifts, talents, and good stuff inside us. Sometimes we just need someone to pull the good stuff out of us. I’m tired of seeing the gifts of my brothers and sisters killed, stifled and locked away. We got us, never forget that. We built, created, farmed, reared, and were brilliant long before the mission to make us feel otherwise. How many of us here will find just one way to use their gifts as tools to help shape the next generations, to help heal the current generation and honor our older generations? How will you contribute? We got us, never forget that❤️
