At the age of four he was the brightest boy in his class at the age of 19 fed up of the choices he was forced to make to survive he fled the town that he grew up in without saying goodbye to his friends - to start his new life.

This true life story of a young man who just had enough and said NO turned his back on his life and walked away without looking back - will be published on this site soon.
