Wonderful story. I assume it's a true one except for the name changes. It's a great thing you can make such a difference in a person's life. You have my vote. Well done.

What a wonderful success story. That he had the opportunity to start over and took it is great. You say you changed the names so it must be based on fact. It is heart warming to know at least one young man made it and that you made a difference.
Excellent narration and dialog.

leave the gang, and make - drop the comma
leaned forward, and stared - drop the comma
Residential Placement facility - drop the upper case letters since this isn't part of a name like Wilson Residential Facility
he finished high school, and started - drop the comma
excellent use of natural-sounding dialogue
great character development
a most thoughtful take on the "I believe" prompt

Hello Mystery Writer,
You have created and completed a great story for the upcoming contest! Your words were profound and yet you picked up on something so real in our world today. If this is based on true events then it's a fantastic ending. I wish all of these situations could be. Anyways, I think you've done a wonderful job putting this up for vote. Good luck to you....xoxo

Sometimes the opportunity to start a new life will give opportunity to leave old negative things behind us, this can be really important when the old negatives can defeat the purposes of rehabilitation. I loved your story, it was well told, written, and the interest was maintained all the way through, I couldn't any obvious errors, well done. Blessings, Roy.

Excellent message shared here.
Like the real life example of belief in someone, not an ideology of faith...more powerful reality, for me
Good narrative construction aided by showing through believable dialogue, rather than telling it how it was
A really good entry in this contest.
Good Luck.
