  <title>779.&amp;quot;10 years… one promise… I was going to change my life in every way possible.&amp;quot;  -  Nathan Elser -</title>
  <description>  Nathan Elser’s words: “It was 2016. I was in Cell Block 16, locked in an 8x10 concrete cell 23 hours a day. My cellmate was a young dude who looked like a drugged-out Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High — detoxing and fighting demons, physically and mentally.  I'd stare into the polished piece of metal bolted to my cell wall, the closest thing to a mirror, and look at the shell of a person I'd become. And I made a promise: I was going to change my life in every way possible.   “I'm sharing this because somewhere out there is a kid or someone out there who thinks their life is already decided.  -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; Maybe their parents don't give a sh*t about them.  -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; Maybe they're surrounded by the wrong people.  -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; Maybe they've made terrible decisions.  -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; Maybe they feel like they're too far gone.  -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; They're not.  -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; A bad hand doesn't mean you have to play the rest of your life with it.  -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; Your past can explain where you came from — it doesn't get to decide where you're going.  -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; Never give up on yourself.  -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; I didn't.&amp;quot;   &amp;amp;nbsp;   You are welcome to contact Nathan Elser on facebook. &amp;amp;nbsp; </description>
