My name is Matthew. I am eighteen years of age. I was born in New York at ST. lukes hospital. I currently live in the Bronx. I am a nice person a person who is kind and understanding, as well as hardworking trustworthy and reliable. I dropped out of high school because like anybody I got mixed with the wrong crowd and I did not have the motivation to go back. I have a number of goals that I would like to accomplish in the near future. I want to finish my ged classes, get a job and go to college. The GP program will help as person to grow as person because it open my eyes to see what is really around me and help to appreciate what I have and how good I have it compared to others.
