A Soul To Care A Blessing That Came From Trouble

A Soul to Care: A Blessing that came from Trouble is a nonfictional story of an Original GIT (Gangster in Training) that came from the G code of Northwest Miami-Dade County. The book tells the tale of GIT's life post incarceration as a juvenile offender to rising above the obstacles in the street life to achieving a Masters of Science Degree in Nursing. The concept of a nurse being born and not made is shown in this book by starting with this young man's caring acts as a teenage drug dealer and his experiences in the drug game that shaped GIT into trusting his intuition and applying the standard ethical principles of honesty and integrity to gain the respect of others. With the supportive involvement of his father from behind bars and his elderly grandmother at home, allowed him to understand the demand of self-recognition in depicting that he can be the one from an unfortunate environment that can succeed against the odds, and not to resort to gun violence as a means of problem solving. The book focuses on how he identifies his culture of accepting prison and death as normalities for the young in the forms of drug-dealing, substance use and gun violence, and the need to show the power that education, a good heart, and faith in GOD will have within his culture.
