I bring to you a self-help autobiography that will serve as a one month personal development plan. Read one chapter each day and apply the Chess Move at the end of each chapter. Growing up in Chicago's inner-city I had to overcome many obstacles. I was directly exposed to gangs, drugs, crime, and domestic violence. After moving south to Atlanta and then to Mississippi I found myself facing some of the same challenges. The common denominator I found in all three places was poverty. I moved away from Mississippi when I was nineteen years old and started a journey of self-discovery and personal development.
