There were so many reporters there, and camera operators, too. So many important people were there. Even the wife of the President of the United States was there. The place was packed. They all wanted to hear me talk. You see, the wife of the President had asked me to come to the White House. She wanted me to tell how I had traveled from the jailhouse to the White House. I felt very proud. All those important people were there to listen to me.
I am Warren Rhodes. I got into a lot of trouble when I was young. I used to get into trouble at school. I failed the sixth grade. I failed the eighth grade two times. I dropped out of school. I was always in trouble with the police. They sent me to reform school. I even went to jail. Trouble followed me everywhere. I had to change my life and find a better way to live.
I am a doctor now. I worked very hard to change my life. Other tough guys can change, too. I will tell you how. This is what I told the people at the White House.
