Notes
Description
The author discusses the adversity he encountered growing up poor, fatherless, in a gang, incarcerated, dropped-out, and without hope. He reflects on his own personal transformation and discusses how his success of returning to school and acquiring a Ph.D. can be replicated by young people with the support of teachers, mentors, and parents.
