Big Will

Since I been at my new prison I was celled up with a guy they call "Big Will". He did 12 years in prison, got out, got 2 college degrees, got a beautiful fiancee, a good job, and created a wonderful life and family for himself.

Although he's had a setback that's put him in prison now, it hasn't or doesn't diminish his accomplishments... not in my eyes. I'm learning so much from him mainly because I've done over a decade in prison and seek to succeed in similar areas as he has once he got out.

All Big Will does is talk about his fiancee's family. What he's done and the man he is has been missed by them all, while I see in his face daily how much he misses them.

Very often if ever have I met guys in here who impact me in life changing ways but Big Will has. I'm grateful to have met him and wish nothing but good things to him and his family.

Note: Never be ashamed to learn from those around you.

Your last line is priceless advice! Never be ashamed to learn from those around you. I'm going to have to keep that in mind. I'm glad you've had the chance to meet some inspirational people.

(smile) From all that I have heard about how you couldnt have a better cellie which is definitely true (plus anyone that can be straight with you about what being out is like recently, what to expect, his advice to you which will be priceless at this time, him being someone that will discuss/talk honestly about many aspects of being in vs being out, and about different things in life so that you CAN learn something from them -that alone is rare anyway among people and hard to find as is, regardless of environment) I think Will is an amazing person in so many different ways. I hope you learn alot from him and take his advice as Im sure he knows what to tell you to expect, your best move once you are free, what to waste time on and what not, etc. Im glad knowing that IN THERE you have someone cool and not rude that you can discuss future ideas with and even have your "debates" that you mentioned HAHA. Please listen to anything will can tell you about how much things have changed in 10-12 years out here. Truly do so. He knows. So tell will I said HELLO (smile) and that I send my thanks for tolerating the Burger King Mega Dumb Art (LOL) Even though he has to be confused by purposely messed up page full of bright colored McDonalds logos and random fairies and THE ACTUAL Burger King with his dress and ashtray incident portrayed (hahaha)among other misc add ins on bee mode artwork that you end up hanging up so he cant miss them. LOL a 2nd one is on its way now, be ready, less color/art but more "words" HA HA!
