<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>I was born and raised in the city of New York-Queens, with</p><p>a Jamaican descent. I grew up fatherless with no male role</p><p>model. Over time I lost focus in my successes and resorted to the</p><p>street life, as a result, I became a juvenile delinquent. I've done some</p><p>time at the Crossroads Juvenile Center, Horizons Juvenile Center, </p><p>and Spofford Juvenile Detention Center. Over the years, I was in</p><p>both non-secure detention (NSD) and non-secure placement (NSP)</p><p>programs. However, I overcame the madness and I am now a veteran</p><p>of the United States Army. I've participated in Atlantic Resolve</p><p>2.0 and supported two operations: Operation Freedom's Sentinel</p><p>and Operation Resolute Support. Over my six years, I've travelled</p><p>to Afghanistan, Germany, Kuwait, and Poland. I am now pursuing</p><p>a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in mass communication. In addition to</p><p>being the husband of a beautiful wife and the father of two amazing</p><p>daughters. I am also real estate agent and a businessman, who is</p><p>involved in many ventures. My sole purpose for creating this book is due to the little version</p><p>of me who grew up without a father to raise him. I was lost as a child, </p><p>and I went in numerous opposing directions trying to find my way. I</p><p>was that little kid who had a million and one questions. Growing up</p><p>without a father left me with a multitude of unanswered questions.</p><p>I thought of all the other fatherless kids in this world, and I wanted</p><p>their questions to be answered. I wanted to create a book offering</p><p>wisdom learned along with multiple traits and tools that will keep</p><p>other men from wandering around and looking lost. A book for late</p><p>teenagers searching for knowledge on things occurring in everyday</p><p>life. A book that grown men can come back to repeatedly.</p><p>We have five chapters to cover, each one containing knowledge</p><p>each man must know. This book is a rite of passage for seventeen year-</p><p>old teenagers who are becoming men. However, it's also a book</p><p>that a man can resort to for useful information when he feels lost</p><p>during any stage of life. I want to get straight to the tools provided</p><p>in this book. Therefore, I won't give you a descriptive thesis and</p><p>conclusion about what this book entails. I'm a genuinely nice guy.</p><p>Why would I make you read something just to read it again? That</p><p>doesn't make any sense, right? The only information I'm going to</p><p>give you is the reason I created this book. After that, we're going to</p><p>get straight into it! When I picked up the pen, I combined research with life skills</p><p>gleaned from personal experiences. My goal was to create a book for</p><p>growing young adults and grown men to resort to! My idea was not</p><p>to just create a book that was accessible to readers, but a book that</p><p>could be passed on to the next generation-a rite of passage for late</p><p>teenage boys in need of directions on the path to becoming men and</p><p>a reference text for adult men who have lost their way. Welcome to</p><p>The Blueprint for Men! I am glad to share this knowledge with you.
