I am a very shy, introverted guy.

Childhood should be carefree, playing in the sun; not living a nightmare in the darkness of the soul.

Even when I lecture per se, I am a joke comedian, I can do the voices.

If people have a basic understanding of right from wrong, possess a strong desire to better themselves and persist in there cause, they can break the chain of any negative environment.

To help yourself, you must be yourself. Be the best that you can be. When you make a mistake, learn from it, pick yourself up and move on.

Ask yourself: was there anything I could have done to prevent the situation? If the answer is yes, do something now and become a better person for it.

The Stovepipe is a memoir full of laughter and tears and a moving story of sisterly love as well as their will to survive.
