Wallace realized, as a poor child in a broken home surrounded by the evil and negativity of the world, that he needed something to ground him. The acceptance of Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior was the turning point of his life. The empowerment, unconditional love, and stability of his faith enabled him to repel the darkness of the world and prevent the temptations from immersing his family deeper into the cursed lifestyle. Destined to break the chains of despair which had burdened his family for generations, Mathias accepted the challenge to be a beacon of hope and a living testimony to inspire others by leading as an example. Mathias paved the way for his younger siblings by excelling in his academic studies, volunteering in his community, mentoring his peers and youth, thriving in sports, working to assist in paying bills, and growing stronger in his faith. Mathias became the first in his family to graduate high school as the valedictorian with a 4.0 grade point average and over 12 scholarship offers to various colleges. Mathias graduated from Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University Magna Cum Laude with a B.S. in Forestry. He was also awarded the Top Scholar for the College of Agricultural, Life, and Natural Sciences. Mathias currently works as a regional program specialist with the United States Forest Service. 3
