Former gangster turns life around – Cristian Martinez speaks to youth in Idaho

Tagged: , , ,

“For 20-year-old Cristian Martinez, a scare and a tragedy in his teen years changed him from living the life of a gangster to aspiring to become something more.

Martinez, born in Texas and raised in Mexico, moved to Nampa five years ago with his parents and two siblings. Then in eighth grade, he said he fell into the gang way of life. Though he said didn’t enjoy the things he and his friends did, he felt comfortable with those friends, mostly because he only knew a handful of English words.”*
