These are words from a beautiful mind that chose to overcome his oppression and ultimately win. For anyone unsure about their future, his story is set out to help you chose to go after your dreams. Success is a mentality. Andre’s story is inspirational not only for prisoners but also for myriad numbers of people in U.S. society who are having their civil rights trampled upon by those who feel they aren’t worthy of them.
