My name is Tony Buck Jr., I'm a native of Los Angeles California, 38 years old, raised in a single parent home, by a strong and independent black woman. I've currently been incarcerated for over 19 years, my charges are armed robbery and attempted murder. All I ask of those who will view my editorials and composition is "please don't judge me by my exterior or what I've been convicted of...," Know that I am not the sum of my mistakes and that I am still fighting for my freedom. Whether The creators see's fit to reducing my sentence based on the legal errors that exist. Trust and believe that my plan to make a difference in the lives of this nation youth remains the same. The time I've spent behind these walls has given birth to my greatest accomplishments, for that I am grateful. I now share a relationship with the creator. I've learned the true definition of what a man is and I'm constantly challenging myself to grow spiritually, intellectually and emotionally. Which makes me determined to uphold and adhere to my duties as a man and a child of the most high. I love to cook, teach and mentor. I'm truly passionate and at my happiest when I'm helping other be the best they can be, because I've learned that the greatest gift, we as human being can give God, in order to show our appreciation... is to give ourselves unselfishly to other when they are in need.
