Lee A. Benson, Sr., a retired high school science teacher from Dayton, Ohio, brings over three decades of teaching experience to his writing. Educating the youth of Dayton Public Schools, he inspired countless students with his passion for science and his unwavering commitment to guiding them toward brighter futures. Benson is a proud husband, father, and grandfather, married to his wife, Neva Jean, for over 51 years. Together, they raised seven children-four sons and three daughters-two of whom followed in their father's footsteps to become teachers. In addition to his teaching career, Neva Jean played a vital role in running the family's business, Benson & Benson Vending, for two decades before her retirement. Family is at the heart of everything Lee Sr. does, and he has always cherished the strong bond he shares with his children and grandchildren. Lee's upcoming book centers on the journey of his grandson, Lee A. Benson III (Bam), and the emotional challenges faced by the family when Bam walked away from a promising basketball scholarship. What began as a dream shared by Bam, his mother Quita, and the family ended in heartbreak when he chose to leave it all behind, unable to accept positive constructive criticism from his college coach. Through this deeply personal story, Benson hopes to offer guidance and insight to other families, students, and coaches who may find themselves in a similar situation. His book will highlight the power of resilience, family support, and the life-altering consequences of decisions made in the face of adversity. Lee Sr.'s heartfelt message to parents and students alike is that they are not alone in their struggles. He expresses immense gratitude to his family-especially his daughter-in-law, wife, and children-for their encouragement and support throughout this writing journey. As a man of faith, he concludes, Hold me, Jesus, please hold our hands. We know that You will fix it. This book is a must-read for anyone involved in the sports world and those grappling with life's unexpected turn
