An inspirational story of overcoming the odds. Born into poverty, given up for adoption, challenged by gangs and urban despair, Mr. Wynn rose above it all to become his family's first college... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Dear Mr. Wynn, About a month ago, a fellow administrator called and said that she had about 81 books that she wanted to give to the children at my school. When our children do great things at school, we often reward them with some type of prize or certificate, and she thought that giving a book would be an excellent gift. Little did I know that the books she was bringing to me was your book, Follow Your Dreams: Lessons That I Learned in School. My friend came to my school with a shopping bag full of your books. I immediately took one of them home for my daughter to read and the next day I sent a copy to my son who happens to be in his second year of college. Our high school girls basketball team reached a milestone in sports this year, they advanced to the state semi-finals and the school provided them with a chartered bus. Before each girl boarded that bus, I hugged each one of them, wished them the best and insisted they read your book as I handed each of them their own copy as they got onto the bus. I can't tell you what rave reviews you've gotten from the children of Lancaster County Virginia. They can't seem to put the book down. They are not only reading the book, they are telling all of their friends to see me so that they can get a copy of their own. My own college son called and said, "Mom, this book is GOOD!" I can't thank you enough for your insights. They are so meaningful. The book just flows, its easy reading makes it hard for anyone to put it down. A Thankful Administrator
