My name is Lanaya Mompremier, I'm 21 with 2 kids, one 3 years old and my youngest 3 months.

My goals is for the state of Georgia to change the law for record being expunged/ given first offender back with good behavior.

My background : I was in an toxic relationship for 5 years, I was 17 and I "thought" I was in love. I didn't want out even though it was constant fighting and arguing! drugs and alcohol was involved, & if anybody told ME to leave the relationship, I would just push them away.. I was young, I had to learned the hard way. My ex-partner and I got into an fight and I stabbed him with an butter knife.. police was called.. my life instantly change.  My ex went to my lawyer and admit he was choking me and sign affidavit.  The state picked it up and gave me an plea deal for first offender , and no contact with my ex . I took it, and I had contact with ex (bad choice) and I violated probation they took my first offender.. I did 15 months in prison, I lost custody of my son.

    Nobody believe I would change and leave my ex alone, they didn't see no hope for me, just an young girl in ga without family, but, im doing better , I put myself in treatment been in rehab going on 9 months, hard to find an job because my background, can't even join the military because of my violent charge.

        I was convicted of an agg. Assault .. and that don't look good at all, some places don't even give me an chance to explain what happened.. I really change and I'm in an better place and Im not going back to that old life style but this "agg. Assault " charge really hindering me from great things I want to do, and I wish the system will show grace so I can join the military , work an decent job , go to school and take care of my little one.  

I get I did this to myself and trust me i wish I could do things differently because I would, I miss my first born so much, I suffer alot of losses, but, my first born Eli ( 3 year old) in good hands , I do miss him alot and the point I'm trying to make, it took me to get incarcerated for 15 months, losing my rights to my son while in prisom to realize I deserve better, I have no choice but to change, getting beat on wasn't enough, didn't know any better and at the time I called that 'toxic relationship "love"..  NOW I'M 21 & I changed my life, I'm still learning, and growing, I'm sober , I'm a great mom , and I know there's other young adults that made poor choices and got caught up with that law and now they are convicted felons and it's hard for them to do what they really want ! Ifeel the same way. we all deserve to have more chances than 2 .. And I'm Going to try to do my best to be heard and make an change. 

Please support me with changing the state of ga law back to getting your record expunged/ first offender back with good behavior/ support join the army after so long of good behavior...  

     It's not over because the system say it's over !
