           In the article, “I am a man with a heart”, the author, Andrew Thi, talks about his life story, from his family immigrating to U.S to being released from prison. After reading his story, I was disappointed to see that Andrew did so many bad things, such as shoplifting and stealing cars when he was a teenager while he did really great job at school. A smart kid degenerated into immorality. As he said, his family moved to U.S in order to give him a better education. However, although he got good grades at school and took part in Standford Youth Science Medical Program, he obviously did not cherish the opportunity. Perhaps he was influenced by the environment where he lived because most his friends never graduated from high school. Or he stole just for making money for family. Whatever the reasons, he chose a dark road and then suffered from it for long years. I can’t say he is a really bad person because from his words, he has been felt really guilty. However, I think it takes too long for him to realize his badness and turn his life around through believing in God. I was wondering if his family being more strict to him or he involved in more positive activities at school, is his life going to be different.

Question: What factors make Thi keep making poor choices in his life?
