Hi everyone, I hope you have all had a wonderful holiday!! I remember when I made this video and can look back knowing that i have come a long way since. I have now been home six months and have successfully completed all parole mandated programing. In addition i have just finished my first semester of college at BMCC. It is still a struggle at times, but i look forward to the community support provided here. I owe allot of my accomplishments to the good advice received from beyond the curve mentors while still in it's infancy. I cant wait to hear from everyone as soon as you get the chance. Thank you, Geoff.

Wow!! Thank you all so much for the support I know its not easy to find the time. I'm currently in the process of applying for a travel pass from parole in order to go and visit some of my family that live in California. I've been getting the run around a little bit but i'm going to keep trying. Stay tuned, Monday we should be posting my week two video!! As always thank you so much for the support and have a great new year!!

Life is a constant struggle and has many pitfalls but it can be good when you have family, friends and the Beyond The Curve Community who will support you. We all have your back... whenever you need an ear we are willing to listen. Smile... It cost nothing and it will warm you from the top of your head to the tip of your toes.

Hi Geoff - good luck Monday hope you get the pass... try not to be disappointed by the things you can't control... I know it's easier said than done... but one day soon... just keep pushing forward...
FlaviaJanuary 6, 2014
Geoff, wishing you luck today in getting your pass to travel to California. If you don't get it now, no worries. Good things come to those who wait! You are doing great!
FlaviaJanuary 8, 2014
Geoff, you're a multi talented person who can succeed in whatever you wish. That's because you have heart and are not afraid to try new things. Although the Parole regulations seem to appear too much it's still not prohibiting you from reaching your goals. Your attitude, and determination are great! Our Online Community will support you through this process!
