Street Addiction

Lifelong Syracuse resident and Public Health graduate student Arnett Haygood-El, 44, overcame a street life of drugs and crime in his teenage years. He's a family counselor now at the city's Southwest Community Center and is determined to help youth from making the mistakes he made. Nearly 3 years in jail and almost dying after getting shot 5 times, and his mother's insistence he et his G.E.D. to finish high school were turning points in his life.>
