This is a wonderful, true story of a young man's grit, determination & faith to overcome the education he received in the poorest high school in D.C. plus growing up in a single parent home. His mother is an amazing person who put her own life aside to help her son succeed. He graduated from high school & was admitted to Brown University. The story cronicles in detail his last year of high school & his first year at Brown. I highly recommend this book for those who truly want to understand what it takes to make it out of the Black Ghetto.
