I have taken responsibility for my actions; and as a result, I have come to realize that forgiveness and making amends for one's past transgressions is the first step towards healing and wholeness.

The purpose of my placing my profile on this web site is to reach out to people of good will, who have as part of their belief system, the redemption of others who may have made a mistake during the course of their lives.

As part of my rehabilitation and personal transformation, I have educated myself and raised my level of consciousness and am now better equipped to be a productive member of my community and to assist others in making wiser choices and decisions.

RELEASE PLANS

My objective upon release from prison is to reestablish and to strengthen my family ties, continue my education, and to be employed as a professional in the Human Services field, and to become an entrepreneur.

CLOSING

Unfortunately and regrettably, a life was taken prematurely, and as a result of that ill-advised act, I am deeply remorseful and have been helping others to recognize and respect the value and the sanctity of life.

Respectully,

Larry Pilgrim , Ph.D.
