Currently Reading...

The Pact. I was first introduced to this book exactly four years ago. I attended a summer program at Clark Atlanta University that was geared to producing more doctors in the black community [I never wanted to be a doctor, the program payed $500 lol]. Part of the program required participants to read this book. Never had I ever been motivated to do so well in school.
This book is about three inner city youths coming up on the hard streets of Newark, NJ. During their junior year in high school they all made an agreement to enter a college program that provided a comprehensive path for inner city high school graduates to continue their education and one day become doctors. Throughout the book, the authors, Drs. Sampson Davis, George Jenkins, and Rameck Hunt, chronicled their major ups and downs on their path to graduating med school. Not only are they all friends to this day, they are all doctors.
This is a story about the power of friendship. Of joining forces and beating the odds. A story about changing your life, and the lives of those you love the most. To me this book is a must read for anyone who is on the course of pursuing any type of goal. This is a book that I am currently rereading to help keep me motivated to complete my educational goals. I hope you pick up a copy and do the same. For more information visit ThreeDoctors.com.
