High school STATE swimmer throws his future swim
opportunities away because he chooses not to do his homework.
Eagle Scout thrown away because said scout did not do
associated paperwork and complete his Eagle project. Just a write up away...which would allow you a higher rank/pay upon entry into the military... not to mention life long recognition to be a stand out among your peers for a lifetime.
Potential high school diploma thrown away because he chooses not to do homework.
Your future is dimmer. Due to your choice.

Your faith and a loving church family.
Quite a list. More than many, many persons have.

Another chance when you hurt your mother by attempting to
strangle her.
Another chance when you laid nude on your bedroom floor
refusing food and water in 80 degree weather for days.
More opportunities to destroy our family life.

An opportunity to start fresh in Texas.
A clean slate.
There was no other way. This will be your best chance for the best life.
