I found myself approaching tears watching Louis undergo his maturation process, much as human children do. I experiencing pride as Louis accomplished so many things, while culture and lifestyles were stacked against him, much like myself overcoming many obstacles to make myself become successful in this life and be a good role model for my kids. I hope that my children grow up to be as honest and honorable, hard working and true to himself as Louis and Sam.

About Me
- connie
- La Vernia, Texas, United States
- I am a single mom, of two pre-teens (1 boy/1 girl). I'm a university education major and substitute teacher. I enjoy an active life with my kids. We roller skate, hike, swim, watch movies, read, and play with our pets. We are collectively working to help save our wildlife and our planet. My kids are my world.
In the last chapter of this book, I was able to relate. I was the youngest of three children and me when I got a job I help my dad pay for some of the taxes in the home. At the age of 16, I had one job and by 18, I work three to help my parents be able to make ends meet. After 12 years, I still employed at two jobs. I often find myself going beyond the job description to help others like Louis at camp. As far, as love life. I tried to impress my man, who is now my husband just like Louis with Serena.
