I think it looks good. Perhaps cite specific examples of things you list in the final paragraph (i.e. specific clubs, jobs, etc).

Is this necessary if it will all be on my resume?

Thanks

I dont think you need to list the clubs. I do think you need one sentence transitioning into you talking about you life improvements. something like 'after the third time i was in a court being disiplined for my criminal actions, it hit me.....and now im a much better person because of said disiplines' you know, a sentence ellaborating on when you then changed your ways.

The "And then it hit me moment" sounds sort of cheesy and dishonest. I'm not sure about that.

What does everyone else think?

Hm. I suppose I could add a sentence about finally getting to a university and getting away from my old lifestyle and friends. And how that is when I began to change.

Thanks.

Any other thoughts?

add some sentence along those lines and then i think you will be good. the addendum is clearly written and to the point. IMO that transition is all you need
