My Youth

About the Book

My Youth is the beginning of a long spectacular life. It is stories of a naive, poor two year old through his youth to twenty years old. His adventures vary from happy ,sad, scary and great. The child was the youngest of five children, seven years apart. Born to a father that was a postal worker at night and a mother that went from secrecretary to nursing to disability. All the while, the children were basically raising themselves. The stories are as true as can be remembered and the lessons learned explain how the boy coped with the changes of the sixties to the eighties. He had to grow up quickly, watching and learning from his older siblings. Follow ME through the most difficult, yet, special years of MY life. I go from a sexually abused child, to a confused, but happy youth, to a teen confident and ready to show the world that someone can be more than a label that other children assumed. Everyone Has Something To Give And Many Are Not What Other People Expect. Poor, but smart, I changed my stars and refused to let my past be the reason of my failures, but the source of my successes.
