"Life brings struggles and challenges to everyone. It is through preparation, dedication, and faith that we shall endure." Based on the real-life experiences of Dr. Kenneth Patterson, I Am Too... will motivate, encourage, and move readers to action. This is the story of one man's path toward manhood-from the hard streets of a Baltimore ghetto, to the field grade ranks of the U.S. Army, to the hallowed halls of academia. Dr. Patterson is a highly esteemed professional-a supply chain expert, college professor, and military officer-but his success is based on hard work, courage, and resilience. Raised by a single mother and surrounded by poverty and violence, he defied seemingly insurmountable odds to rise above hardship and claim his well-deserved achievements-not just for himself but also as an inspiration for others. Dr. Patterson's memoir not only offers hope and motivation; it provides concrete tools for those who doubt their own ability for a bright future, and its universal truths will resonate with people worldwide.
