He came in with little hope, he said, yet will leave with a diploma and goals for his future. âThe staff and the teachers have taught me that there is more to life than the life than what I was living before I came here,â he said. "Bad decisions and mistakes" are what led Sam to the detention center; decisions, he says, he wishes he could take back. The lifestyle he was living wasnât safe and he didnât see a bright future for himself, he said.
