Facing adversity? Looking for a way to overcome the odds? You can overcome the odds and live the life of your dreams and this book will be your roadmap!
I was raised in unfortunate circumstances, but I believe the way I handled it made things much worse than they should have been. Becoming a juvenile delinquent is nothing to be proud of. After spending time in a juvenile program, I still hadn’t learned my lesson and my troubles followed me into adulthood. I now realize my life as a young adult had been the consequence of my poor decisions as a teenager. I was not prepared to become an adult. The main goal of this book is to teach you the things I wish I had known when I was your age—how to become independent, take care of yourself and avoid the dangerous pitfalls associated with being at-risk.
I have since changed my life for the better, but I can’t change my past. What I can control is what I do with all the knowledge I’ve gained from my experiences. I will talk about what has worked for me and the areas of my life where I wish I would have done things differently. I am choosing to share this wisdom with you, so you can avoid making the same mistakes I made.
If I could go back and change my life, this book is what I would use as a guide. Throughout this book, you will learn a wide range of information that will help you get from where you are to where you want to go in your life. Everything I talk about in this book is based on personal experiences and self-taught knowledge. These are not things I learned in a traditional classroom. I am combining my street smarts and common sense, mixed with a wide range of practical life experiences, and proven self-help and personal development strategies to give you an education like no one else can.
In this easy to read book, I will share with you the mistakes I made after losing both of my parents at a young age. Learning to survive on my own proved to be a real challenge and becoming an adult was even more difficult. I had to learn everything the hard way. At the age of twenty-eight, I was introduced to self-help and personal development information that changed my life forever. I have studied this information for the past fourteen years, and now I want to share it with you. If I was able to create the life of my dreams, I know you can too.
Based on my personal experiences and knowledge, I share tips, techniques, and strategies on how to take control of your life and become an independent, respectable young adult. In this book, you will learn how to avoid the pitfalls I fell into and what at-risk behaviors to look out for. Learn how to create a vision for your future and develop the greatness within you. Learn how to maximize technology, make, and save money, create hobbies of value, and develop habits that will reward you. This is a must-read for any at-risk teenager. Become the best version of yourself today!
