Finally Finished!

As I reflect on this term in my college course, I find myself thinking about it being over now. Where did the time go? As fast as I started, is about as fast as I've finished. My final thesis about mentally ill inmates was both challenging and exhausting. I'm not sure why I had such difficulties with writing this paper, but I feel really good now that it's done. I do have to admit, my brother Daniel J. Gallant was very instrumental in this process. He gave me an insiders point of view on how prison life can effect ones ability to have hope. I feel for those who are incarcerated and lack the certainty to have a normal and productive life. Through my research I have found that funds is the most pressing of the issues that plague our prison system today. I am having a difficult time understanding where our taxes go. Why has our government forgotten about Americans who struggle on a day to day basis with life in general. I have so much disappointment in our government, and look at my children and know they are going to inherit huge issues. Hopefully one day in the future, my child or someone else can make the difference that is so badly needed. Maybe one day, our country can reclaim it's glory and rise above these ugly decisions being made by those who care more about themselves than their people.
