Halftime Hustler

By Ralph Null Sanders

WE ALL HAVE DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS IN OUR LIVES. MINE WAS TO BE IN THE NBA. I LIVED AND BREATHED BASKETBALL ALL THROUGHOUT MY YOUTH. THE HOPE FOR FAME AND FORTUNE HOWEVER TOOK ME DOWN A PATH OF DECEITFULNESS AND CRIME. INSTEAD OF PLAYING ON A COURT, I FOUND MYSELF IN COURT ANSWERING FOR THE WRONG I HAD DONE AND FACING 350 YEARS TO LIFE. MY LIFE WAS OVER AS ID KNOWN IT AND MY FUTURE WAS NO LONGER IN MY CONTROL; AT LEAST FOR NOW.THIS EXPERIENCE, THOUGH ONE I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND TO ANYONE, DID END UP TEACHING ME A LOT ABOUT MYSELF AND WHAT IS IMPORTANT IN LIFE. A STRONG BELIEF THAT ALL THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON AND AN EVER-GROWING FAITH IN GOD WERE THE FOUNDATIONS THAT ALLOWED ME TO ENDURE MY 15-YEAR PRISON SENTENCE AND NOT COME OUT "INSTITUTIONALIZED" BUT RATHER TO USE THESE EXPERIENCES TO HELP AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS.
