The federal government charged me with a conspiracy involving MDMA &#8220;Ecstasy&#8221;. My conspiracy did not simply begin with me being involved in distributing ecstasy. I started out as a weekend user, and that escalated to distribution.<\/p>\n<p>I eventually entered a pea of &#8220;guilty&#8221; to the charges, knowing I committed a crime so I accept responsibility for my actions. &nbsp;June 19 , 2008 was the worst day of my life because the Federal Sentencing Judge imposed a sentence of 45 years even though I pled guilty. &nbsp; Initially I was shocked. When I accepted the plea I understood I would receive about 10 years. My life, family, and dreams were forever shattered on that warm summer day. I was heart broken.<\/p>\n<p>I am a first time non-violent offender and the only way I might reclaim my life is if President Trump finds me worthy of his mercy.<br \/>\nDuring my incarceration I have completed numerous rehabilitative programs. <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">In over 13 years I have never been issued a disciplinary report.<\/span><\/strong> My goal has always been to prove that I am worthy of a second chance to reclaim my life.<\/p>\n<p>I also learned to oil paint. My goal is to take my talent to the street doing great things with it. I have plans to start more art with photography and I&#8217;ll work in the studio of my friend, in Poland and work in the photo industry. &nbsp;This is my passion. I have plans to volunteer to work for non profit organization, help people in need. I support one organization for past 6 years by sending donations (www.WOSP.org.pl). I have more plans and I know I will finalize them by hard work and dedication. It won&#8217;t be easy, but I am ready.<\/p>\n<p>I have 3 nieces, and 1 nephew. I would like to teach them (and other children) to paint and know them better. &nbsp;I have never met some of my newest family members. &nbsp;The most important thing in my life is taking care of my parents and being the son I was meant to be. My father is 81 years old, and my mother is 76 years old. My decisions hurt them and I pray for the opportunity to be the son they deserved and expected, as well as the brother, and uncle I was meant to be.<\/p>\n<p>Life has much to offer. I realize that there is nothing more important than freedom and family. After reading a book by Paul Kalanithi &#8220;When Breath Become Air&#8221; I started thinking about how to change my life to become meaningful. This book change my thinking about life. &nbsp;I just pray I get a chance to reach my potential and apply all I have learned on this journey.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-9950\" src=\"http:\/\/www.candoclemency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Art_Piotr_Children-playing-246x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"246\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sheryanne.com\/cando-new2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Art_Piotr_Children-playing-246x300.png 246w, https:\/\/sheryanne.com\/cando-new2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Art_Piotr_Children-playing.png 566w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 246px) 100vw, 246px\" \/>If given clemency by President Trump I would forever value his mercy.
