feedback. I tried to keep it simple please let me know what you think. I changed some stuff around for anonymity but content wise it is what I am working with. I am thinking maybe more detail about each incident?
In October 2004, while still a minor, I was charged with possession of Marijuana and Drug Paraphernalia in X. The charges were later dropped after completion of the X Diversion Program.
In January 2006, I was charged with Underage Possession of Alcohol in X I plead guilty and paid a $X fine.
In May 2006 I was charged with Underage Possession of Alcohol and Misrepresentation in X. The charges were later dropped after completion of the X Diversion Program.
I take full responsibility for my previous transgressions and am disappointed in some of the choices I have made in the past. There is no excuse for my behavior but these incidents are not indicative of who I am today. I have worked hard to distance myself from these events. I have attended MADD meetings, done community service, and paid fines. In the 4 years since the last incident I have either worked full-time or attended school full-time while working part-time year round. I no longer live like the younger reckless person I once was. My grades have had an upward trend and I have found constructive ways to spend my down time, such as recreational sports and casual reading. While at home recently I went back and volunteered for the Judge X, who handled my case in May 2006. These experiences have served as a major turning point in my life and have led me to where I am today. While I am not proud of my previous actions and wish I could go back and change them, I am proud of the way I have grown out of them.
