I Was Born with Nothing but Rose to Be a King (ePub)

I was raised up here in Fort Pierce, Florida, a small city on the Treasure Coast. I attended kindergarten up until I was six years old. Then I attended Frances K. Sweet up until the fourth grade. I had a tragic accident one Sunday when I was racing my bicycle. I fell off and broke my arm, and they transferred me to one of the best hospitals in the state of Florida at the time. It was called Saint Mary’s Hospital, which was down in Palm Beach, Florida. The doctor told my mom that it wouldn’t take long for him to set my arm back together again. While I was on the operating table, the doctor did not supply my brain with enough oxygen. That caused my heart to stop breathing, and it left me with severe neurology damage. My heart stopped beating, and my mom was told by the doctor that “[I] will never be no more good to society, so the best thing would be to sign [me] over to the state.” But my mom was a strong black woman, and she said, “No I will take care of my son.” Then she nursed me back to the best of health that she could. Then a white lady came out to the house, and she wanted to know if I wanted to continue on with my education. So my mom said yes, and she started to send tutors out to my house. Then when I reached a certain level, I started attending Lincoln Park Academy School. I had friends to come by and push me to school every morning. Some of the kids were very cruel, and some of them weren’t. But I was determined to finish high school, and I did. After high school, I took a break for a year, and then I went off to law school. I attended Miami University, and from that point on, I never looked back. I received a degree in civil law and a couple more degrees. Life one day can be up and the next day it can be down. So don’t take life for granted for life is too precious. You should live and enjoy life to the fullest and to the upmost.
