This meditation guide is actually helping me to learn to chill and stay calm. I've spent most of my 14 years locked down. Solitary confinement time is rough to do. These last couple of weeks I've been really chillin'. It's not hard to understand. It's amazing how much meditation can do for you.

I enjoyed learning about computer science - how computers run on binary numbers, detect and correct errors, and keep information protected. You should make a second guide in this series. I recommend Level to a lot of people in the prison that I am at. I enjoy learning and being with the Level community.

I've been incarcerated since the age of 17, I am now 41, and it's places like Level that give people like me hope. The guides are insightful - I have learned a lot. I read the last one four times and frequently re-read to remember what I learned. A person told me about Level, so it's only right that I tell others.

I am continuously seeking self improvement through education, reflection and applying knowledge. I don't just want to learn, I want to build my character. I was surprised how many practical things I learned from this guide. There were very clear guidelines. It helped me envision the possibilities in the future.
