Character in conflict

Jamall is a gang member in Watts, but he loves his mom and brother dearly and wants to get out. With the money he makes he buys groceries and clothes for his little brother. He is caring and his future seems bright because he has received a full ride scholarship to UCLA for football because he is an outstanding player. He has been blessed with talent and is excited for the opportunity. Everything seems great, but it is difficult to just leava a gang because you can get killed by them if they think you want out. Jamall is stuck in a difficult situation because being a gang member has no future and is willing to do what it takes to get out of their group.
