THIS I BELIEVE

I believe in second chances because everyone deserves one. What I learned is that if someone messes up one time it doesn't mean they should be put away for a decade. There are good people out there that get in trouble because they just make mistakes.

My cousin wasn't always a bad guy. He stayed out of people's business and did his own thing. He just started working and taking care of his kids. He helped out his family when they needed help. Then one day he got into a fight with this one unknown person who was in his house and they started fighting and he end up hurting the person. He got charged with attempted murder and got sent to prison for five years. It was supposed to be self defence but he went too far and got carried away.

My cousin got a chance to prove himself when he went before the judge. He explained his situation and the judge understood what he was getting at and gave him a closer chance to freedom because he wasn't always getting into trouble. It just happened once.

Everyone deserves a second chance because people learn from their mistakes. When people are angry they get into it and stuff starts flying all around and then at the end it's when you get in trouble even if you didn't start it. There is someone I know that deserves a chance because I know deep down he's a good person and he will change. It all depends on the chances we get and we can't blow them.
