We all make mistakes. Unfortunately, some of our mistakes might have implications far into the future. This is the case with criminal records, which can affect your ability to find employment, get into college, or even qualify for financial aid. You may be prevented from taking advantage of valuable opportunities if you have been arrested in the past, even if you have reformed your behavior completely and earned a favorable result on your case.

 

You don’t have to allow your past to dictate your future. You have the right to enjoy a prosperous future as a law-abiding citizen, even with a criminal record.
