I did tons of paperwork, I shipped stuff around the world and I even had to hotwire semi trucks.
It is wrong in partaking of illegal activities, but to admit and learn from them is good. You should try to fix any lasting damage you might have done to people with your business.
I'm trying to stay on the straight and narrow from now on, and am working to fix the mistakes I've made.
That's very impressive!  I'm proud of how far you'v come!
