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 graduate. Now an educator, parent, consultant, and author, he tells a story that resonates with students--don't make excuses, set goals, work hard, choose wisely, and follow your dreams.

About the Author

Mychal Wynn (1956 - ) was born in rural poverty in Pike County Alabama, grew up in urban poverty in Chicago, IL, attended Chicago Public Schools, and graduated with honors from Northeastern University (Boston).

He passionately believes that "Where you come from does not determine where you are going, only where you begin." [Follow Your Dreams].
