Stanley didn't appreciate school! In and out of gangs! In and out of jail!

Shot so many times, his body looked like a roadmap!

"It's a tough world, so you've got to be tougher", he said.

Yes, Stanley was tough, but he was not yet tough enough for the real world!

He was becoming more and more depressed. He was on a collision course with life!

He had some many of his friends that would be in and out of jail for the rest of their lives! So many of his gang friends that were now lying in graveyards!

He had friends that drugs were killing and some that drugs had already killed!

So many lives disturbed or destroyed!

Stanley was not really satisfied with his lifestyle, he just didn't know how to change!

Then one morning, while he was out walking, all by himself, he met a girl.

A girl, he called, "Miss Stacy."

They formed a relationship, and in that relationship, she showed him how to change!
