It took your mind off where you are in your life, it got you to focus on something productive, and something constructive. My teachers made me feel like everything was an opportunity which was a huge benefit for me. All of this stuff helped me maintain my mental balance, by giving me something to focus on in my future

These teachers made me feel human again by simply speaking to me like a normal person, on the same level as me, which can be difficult to find in a prison.
I found the education section of the prison, completely different from the main prison. My teachers were able to run the curriculum exactly how they wanted to run it.
