This book of poetry, prose and philosophy charts a personal journey through a series of life events from my late teenage years and through my twenties, ultimately forming my character as I became a man. This period of a young man's life shapes the way he conducts his life personally with his friends and family for the rest of his life. So much of what a man does today, as a successful adult, is based on the experience gained during this crucial 10 year period. It will define who he becomes (as it did me), what he does and the success he will achieve.
