In lighter terms, this book can be summed up by a young man's guide to life through my experiences. Some of the experiences are embarrassing and some are very uplifting. Prepare yourself to take a journey through my eyes. This book is about life's trials and tribulations from my own experiences. I chose to write this book because I would like to give some advice to young men around the world on how to deal with the struggles of life. I want them to learn to take the positives from every situation, whether good or bad. I believe that I can connect with young people from all backgrounds. Especially those who may not have a positive role model in their lives. I hope to not only be a voice to young men, but anyone who reads this book should be able to gain something from it. a.
