Having a pristine driving and criminal record can help you in a lot of situations. Many careers that involve driving will require you to have a clean driving record with no violations for a certain number of years prior to applying for the job. Most jobs will do a background check before offering you a position. Most jobs will hire applicants that have no criminal history. If you have a DWI on your record from some time ago, you may find that this is holding you back from jobs and other interests.
When I was younger, I had a hard time following the rules. I got in with a bad group of friends, and I found myself in juvenile detention more than a few times. When I was sixteen, a teacher sat me down and explained where my life was leading. That teacher was the first person that believed in me, and I decided not to let him down. That day, I decided to change my life, and I did. Because of his sound advice, I was able to finish high school, get into a great college, and become a criminal attorney. I understand the uphill battle that troubled youth face, and I want to use this website to teach other people what they need to do to turn things around.
