I was told [that] the ghetto that I grew up in was was full of criminals with no future and I [would] be a statistic just like my peers and the ones that came [before] me. [They told me that I would be] dead or in jail with no potential to make it out or to make a success of myself. I am now proud to say [that] I’m the rose that grew from concrete in Brooklyn. I’ve prove[d] so many people wrong.”
