Hell's Heaven

My Life Started In The Ghetto Of Roxbury Massachusetts A Mile Away From The Drug-Infested Neighborhood Where Bobby Brown Came Up. My Father Left Our Family When I Was One. My Mother Had Five Children One Of Whom Died In Early Childhood. My Mother Struggled Every Day To Feed Us-I'M Sure Many Times Not Feeding Herself. A Lot Of Our Food And Christmas Toys Came From The Government. Despite All Her Struggles My Mother Did Everything In Her Power To Give Me An Academic Edge. After I Won The Boston Mayor'S Award For Academics When I Graduated From The Sixth Grade My Mother Colluded With A White Family To Put Me On An Academic And Cultural Rocketship. This Was The Point Where I Had To Begin To Navigate My Path Mostly On My Own As My Mother'S Knowledge And Experience Regarding My New World Was Very Limited. All I Could Do Was To Try To Hold On. I Attended The University Of Massachusetts And A Computer Electronics Class At Benjamin Franklin Institute Where Ibm Hired Me. After 20 Years In The World Of High Technology I Became Disillusioned With Corporate Life And Moved With My Family To Costa Rica Where I Had The Pleasure Of Meeting A Man Named Dr. Deepak Chopra Who Contacted Me And Invited My Wife And I To Join Him At His Private Lunch With The Presidential Candidate Of Costa Rica During His One-Day Conference. How? People Always Ask Me: Why After 17 Years Did You Return From The Paradise Of Costa Rica To The U.S.? This Is My True Story.
