In reading the book Who'd Think in Elementary I'd see the Penitentiary, I saw a young boy whose life was similar to many other young boys that face the struggles of the street and a school system that often fail to reach them. I also saw a family structure that did not give him the proper tools to navigate through life. I saw a young person that didn't have any hope of beating the prison system. From Detroit to Tennessee to Dallas, Brent Jackson has proven it's not how bad your circumstances are but how you respond to those circumstances.
Brent had dreams; dreams of working in the entertainment industry, dreams of family, and dreams of doing the right thing is what kept him focused when he found himself in difficult places.
While written primarily to help young people, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to increase their ability to make good decisions. It will guide you through everyday choices and experiences and give you the skills necessary to become responsible adults. If you need to find the courage, strength, and confidence to stay the course, I strongly recommend to everyone to read this book and share it with the young people in your life.
