!["When I was younger it was easier because I had my mom there for me and she was helping me out with a lot of stuff. As I got older I started surrounding myself with different friends, started getting involved with the streets, and things changed. I got shot in 2014 on my leg. I was 13 years old [and] I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. In 2015 one of my friends got shot and killed right here. I got involved with Isles because my probation officer noticed I was skipping school and she said it would be good for me to work with them and stay off the streets. They got a lot of love for me. Now I'm in the New Choices program, a drug rehab program for minors. I've been going there for 6 weeks. Just trying to change my life around."](https://i0.wp.com/roeblinggallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/James-Blount-18-South-Trenton.jpg?fit=800%2C789&ssl=1 "\"When I was younger it was easier because I had my mom there for me and she was helping me out with a lot of stuff.
