I was born and raised in SA CA..did the gang thing. but grew up and decided to change. If you are not inerested in this program leave it alone and if others do like it nomatter if they are gang members SO WHAT! What does you street Myrtle give you? Don't be negative and let others be different. IF they choose to. your street please..it is everyones st. GROW UP AND LET LIFE BE POSITIVE NOT NEGATIVE LIKE YOU.

Im 21 years old & i grew up in S.A. it was tough as fuck growing up here! I remember when i was a kid hearing gunshots was a pre bedtime routine!The city is full of violence,corruption,gangs,etc,­but to me this city is full of love & memories,good & bad!I love this city,I love my hood we struggled through out the years here with lots of bullshit!But it made us who we are today & if i ever move from here i will never forget where i came from!!!Santa Ana will always have a huge place in my heart!!!
