Mob Life in the Hood

It is a true gift to find out your strengths early in life and use them to achieve your goals. The majority of us are happy to ever reach that plateau. Josh was one of the privileged few who was able to acknowledge his gifts in his early teens and use them to their fullest potential. But with many blessings, there lurks a curse. Some use their gifts to positively propel themselves in society with an equal or greater benefit for society itself. Others are less altruistic and focus only on their success at the expense of everyone else. Josh chose the latter. Born of hard-working catholic parents with a great sense of community and sacrifice but lacking any semblance of those tenets, Josh moved from petty crimes to life among one of the biggest, most dangerous crime syndicates in New York. It didn't take long to see that there was no future for him in "The Life," but was it soon enough to escape it alive.
