Review & Description
"Life is all about making choices" (see p. 61). Every day we wake up, we have a choice. We choose to get out of bed on the right side or the wrong side. We choose whether it will be a good day or bad. We choose whether we are going to be happy or not. This book, Road to Barrister: An Urban Monologue by Yusef Poole, can help anyone identify and possibly evaluate the consequences of those choices. Poole is one of very few guys in his neighborhood with whom he grew up who never sold drugs. Imagine the temptation he had to overcome . . . the pressure. So what made him different? In his early years, Poole saw the world for what it is, he was able to discern the difference between good and evil, and he chose sensibly. His priorities included God, family, academics, and finally, law school. Along his journey, he kept his eyes open and realized some essential truths regarding his success, why he chose the way he did, and he came to understand some of the problems plaguing society. Poole puts transparency to the test by describing personal events that led him to make wise choices. Now he wants to provide others with a template, if you will, on how to make the right decisions in life. In Road to Barrister: An Urban Monologue, Poole identifies choices and pitfalls, he provides a guide for others to achieve success, and he gives credit to the Lord. Read more
