BOUNCER AT THE AGE OF SIXTEEN HIGH PROFILE BODYGUARD AT SEVENTEEN HIGH SECURITY PRISONER AT EIGHTEEN
As a child I was dismissed as a troublemaker by every authority figure in my life. Aggression and misunderstanding almost overwhelmed me. Then, as I sat in my prison cell, at my lowest low, a switch flipped. I refused to let this be the end of my journey. I made it my goal to help as many young people as possible, and to be the support system for them that I never had growing up.
An insightful memoir that will inform my teaching practice going forward - I am so glad that Dan was able turn his life around into something so incredibly positive and worthwhile.
I have chosen not to rate this book - it just doesn’t feel right to do so given the nature of the story and the many judgements that have already been passed. What you have achieved with your life, in the face of some pretty tough odds. is its own 5* rating.
