Excerpt
Coming to Valparaiso University was, to put it lightly, a change of pace for me. I grew up in a ghetto in Chicago called Englewood, a part of Chicago that, a few years ago, was named the murder capital of the United States. When crime was going down everywhere else in America, Englewood’s crime and murder rates steadily grew. Others feared it, but it was home for me, I loved it. I guess I didn’t know any better.
