Gang Girls -- Making the Change

Wow, I was just taken in by Denise. I grew up in Central California, and was jumped by girls in jr. high so that they would prove they were tough. It was cruel, but not the extent of what these women know.

I mostly related to Denise. She turned her life into something in which she has pride. I think it took a huge amount of guts to lay out her life and her mindset as a young woman. Most people cannot confess their deepest feelings especially if they are negative. I'm so impressed by her, and her optimism. I have in my own life overcome some serious issues, and Denise, who's life had larger stakes in some ways turned her life into something very real and furture looking as opposed to doomed to death or jail.

I applaud you Denise. You are more than that idyllic image you saw one day in the past. You are so much more. You have inspired me to keep on the path of advancement and optimism. I would be proud to know you.
