<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

Around the time of his high school years, he started selling weed, which wasn't that terrible, but still not good. He was never the one to actually use drugs, he only sold them (I know, it sounded a bit ironic to me.) But after a while, he escalated to cocaine and such, and that got out of hand. Selling to a neighbor, who nearly died of an overdose. That's when he cut the line of his ways, and soon after that he was expecting a baby boy. He got off his ass, and went to pick up a real job at 16, because of the embarrassment he didn't want to face by not being able to properly provide for his child(ren). After the baby was born, he continued in high school, eventually graduated with 2 scholarships on his belt. Carried on to college, and in the middle of his second year, he was expected a baby girl. He upgraded his supermarket job, to a bank, where he was able to be provided enough of an income to provide for his girlfriend, schooling, his baby and his upcoming baby girl. Three months ago, she was born, and last month he graduated. He's moving on to a university in Florida, and maintains stability in his life.

He showed me that no matter how bad situations seem, you have to keep your cool. You can't give up because things look bad. Not many people would have expected him to even graduate high school. He had a "crew" in a way, just 2 very good friends of his that were as bad, if not worse, than he was. One's in prison, serving 15 years, while the other took matters into his own hand, after seeing my brother's accomplishments, and joined the military. I'm glad to have someone that indirectly pushes me to strive in life, and I'd interested to know if Reddit has anyone like that in their life
