Dear Jimmy Santiago Baca

I am writing to you about how much you have changed me and made think of things in a different way.By your inspiring story  i learnt that you should always make the best of a bad situation and for the amazing things you done whilst being in that bad situation shows that something good will come out of it.My name is Omari Garraway and i go to the London nautical school of waterloo in England.In English me and my class have came across your story and what happened in it whilst being taught by our fantastic teacher Mr O’brien. When i heard about the events in your i was shortly inspired by how the way you came back from all the negative things that happened to you and what you did showed a lot of resilience and taught me that you can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it and keep cool and i know people just uses that as a saying but when I’ve seen it with my own eyes  it makes me think of things in a different way.One thing about your story is the fact that you started off with nothing but the orphanage and when you decided you had couldn’t stay there anymore you decided to sell drugs and live on the streets as your only option i understand that it would be tough with no one to speak or turn to but i guess i’m just trying to say is although you did those things i understand that it wasn’t your all on you as to why you did those things.As you arrived at the prison how did you feel and did you think at the time that you did you feel to give up like the majority of people or was you thinking that whilst i’m here i should make the most of my time and do something useful with my life.If I was in that situation that you was once in i would be feeling to give up and quit but when i saw you come out of prison with your chin held up I then I would think to myself that I could do it to,and this inspired me because of that.Another thing that inspires me is the fact that you went into the prison not even knowing how to read or write and now your one of the best poets that i heard because of it.One piece of your work that i really liked was the poem no one understands me but me, what  i liked about this is the fact the no knows you but you and no one can say that they do and i really liked the fact that you wrote an amazing poem despite the fact that you didn’t know how to read or write.
