Profile Robert Pruett
My
name is
Robert and I'm writing
this in hopes of finding someone out there who would
be interested in writing with me.
I have an affinity for writing and I definitely enjoy
socializing. Living here on Texas '
Death
Row can became very boring and lonely;
writing with someone from the outside can break the monotony of this
place. I welcome all correspondence and I promise to answer all letters.
Please allow me to give you
an idea of who I am. I'm
24 years
old
and I've been on Death Row for just over two years;
although, I've
been incarcerated since I was 15 years old. I was raised in a poor
environment by a single mother, ( My father was sent to prison when I
was born and he didn't come back into the picture until I was close to
7), who struggled to provide for my siblings and me. I began using drugs
at a very early age and before I was a teen, I turned to crime. It was
as if criminality was taught to the youth in the neighborhoods I grew up
in. I reflect back over these early years and I realize most of my
mistakes. I behaved irresponsibly and without consideration for others.
All that mattered were
the
drugs and the fast life. There is
no doubt that
I've
made countless bad choices throughout the course of my life and I'm not
proud of any of them. In
many ways coming to prison was a blessing for me. I believe that I began
to mature after my incarceration.
Something about sitting in a cold cell, realizing that I'd been a burden
on many and knowing that a change was in order, helped me to
take the necessary steps
to better myself. I understood that the
way I was living was
destructive to myself and others and I wasn't happy with the person I
was, so
I made a concerted effert
to change. I
began reading and
educating
myself in every way imaginable. I love to learn and live
always been an inquisitive person. In fact, I think that is my curse! To
have this
insatiable desire to understand and know everything! : -)
I enjoy history of every
kind and the same goes for science. In trying to
understand myself
I've taken a long look at
psychology and related
behavioral sciences and quite a
bit. Philosophy is another one of my favorite subjects and I read
everything. I can get my
hands on regarding it. I also enjoy reading novels of every sort, but I
mostly
stick to non-fiction. Generally
I’m - high-spirited and try to make the best of life. I consider
myself predominantly an optimist, or a “ glass half full ” type, if
you want. I have no solid spiritual beliefs, but I'm convinced that
there's SOMETHING
and I diligently search
for answers to lifes biggest questions. I'
ve studied qui te a few religions,
but I guess you could say I haven't bad an epiphany
yet. I'm
a big music
and sports fan as weIl. I
get into all styles of rock. Country music seems to do it for me as
weIl. When I was free I played the guitar and
I learned by playing a lot of old country and 80's
/
90's
rock. I love music and I
do believe that it
is food for the soul....
As far as sports go, I like to keep
up with what
I refer to as the "Big
Three” : Football, basketball, and baseball. I'd like to write someone with whom I can find some common ground. I prefer to hold intellectual conversations, but small talk is welcomed. Another thing about me is that I believe I have taught myself morals and values. I try my best to fellow a certain set of codes and principles that include honesty, respect, loyalty and the like. If you think you share some of these traits, please drop me a line.... I look. forward to it . Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Robert
Pruett
