Area man offers apology

To the Editor:

To the community of Clay County:

I apologize for any actions and mistakes I have made in my past.

I realize what I do affects the community as well, and I am sorry.

I also want to apologize to all of the citizens who tried to back me up by saying that there was no way I could have done what I did because I was in a back brace and had a cast on my arm.

I am sorry for disappointing all of you and being a bad citizen in this community.

I have realized it is past due for me to grow up and stop being childish.

You don't have to accept my apology, and you may still consider me a bad person for what I did.

I understand that even doing something wrong one time is enough.

I have come to realize it is time for me to grow up and take care of my family, and not act like a child.

Sincerely,

Ethan Young,

Brazil
