These Are Hard Times for Dreamers

LEUKAR ENCARNACION

WHEN I FIRST CAME TO JAIL When I first came to jail I felt like my whole world was coming to suffocate me. Being that it is my first time here I found everything weird. Surrounded by a bunch of females that I knew nothing about, women with different ways, attitudes, and different worlds, made me scared. But as I stayed to myself and the days passed, I got used to this world I was presented to. A lot has changed since I’ve been here, like treating a lot of these troubled women. Actually talking to them, also listening to their stories, made me meet a lot of women that are troubled. And for me to make a difference in their ways of thinking makes me feel very proud of myself cause as they open up to me I opened up to them. So with some of these things said in which I would like to write more, I appreciate my time here because it showed me how humane humble people could be even though they are in jail; they learn to treat each other with respect.
