It seems that old approaches to existing problems are not viable solutions anymore. I was raised on the Southside of Lumberton and I could have easily become a statistic like a lot of our young men are becoming in record numbers. Not having a platform to really them, "they are blowing it," I wrote: "Arrested Potential." My life was not changed until I alone realized I was my worst enemy.
I created www.arrestedpotential.com and it has a blog for your readers and other concerned American citizens to give their opinions and or suggestions on how to decrease the numbers of lives that are being destroyed. Turning one person’s life around now is not an option; there must be a concerted effort to change many.
