“Overcoming Obstacles”

As the Christmas season approaches, a family of four, with one on the way, plan a winter getaway in the mountains of San Diego. The weather forecast was for warm weather and clear skies. A couple days into the vacation, the skies turn gray and the air turns cold. Deciding to wait things out instead of packing up and leaving, the family gets trapped in a cold rainstorm. Getting chilled to the bone, the expectant mother catches a cold. She starts feeling better a few days later, but the damage has been done. The baby is born shortly after almost a month premature with underdeveloped lungs. Throughout most of his childhood, he struggled with many pulmonary problems, including chronic asthma, bronchitis and pneumonia. He spent most of his childhood struggling to breathe and getting poked and prodded by doctors. The mother, blaming herself for her son’s medical conditions, struggled with guilt.

Her son, blessed with curiosity, a good memory and mental stamina, focused on developing his mental skills by reading, playing games of skill (like chess) and learning the piano. Instead of blaming his mother for his problems, he made the best of things and began to develop many skills. Almost 40 years later, he has earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Geology, Masters Degree in Information Technology and a teaching credential. He has lived out of the country for several years, organized many community events and helped developed several successful businesses, including StoriesofUSA.com, Diamond Crest Computer Consulting and Galactic Grill and Catering. And most importantly, he has a strong relationship with God, his mother and his young daughter.

Randy,

It was weird reading your book….your style of talking is very much like mine. In fact, “put it in the universe” is one of our school’s lines used almost daily. In fact, in our first phone call it was noticed by our team when you used it.

Next, I will support your next book, “Dream to Achieve”. We have a Math Bowl in place to raise our Math Academics. Students will be competing in teams with $ winnings, Magic Mountain trip, gift certificates, etc. This is a good left brain activity, but with your project I can support our right brain students with a writing activity. Please share exactly what you would like the students to do for an essay. For example, how many words, what grade levels, the precise topic, etc. I looked on your website, but would still like more information.

Now for your book! America needs an alteration of attitude in the spirit of our youth. Your book plants a vision of a better America and ultimately world.

I would be interested in purchasing a class set…..in fact, I would purchase them for any family that will read it together and fill out a family worksheet prepared asking them to think about the book and the topics.

My teenage son was causing problems and being rebellious. He took my car and stayed out late against my permission. I grounded him for several weeks, and as a result, he would not be able to go to the high school prom. After reading the first 2 chapters of Left-Center-Right: What is BEST for America?, my son come to me and apologized for his poor behavior. He also requested that he would like to go to the school dance and that he would pay for the tickets and all the other expenses. Thank you for your foresight and inspiration! – Bank President
