Soar

This book is an inspiring life story of a poor farm boy whose extreme poverty was not an obstacle to soar high and achieve his dreams, but served as a challenge to rise above it. His unwavering focus, hard work, tenacity, and great faith in God, got him through the lowest ebbs in his pursuit for education and success. Narrated in the book are heart-tugging glimpses of the travails he and his family went through to merely exist, having lived at one time in pig pen quarters. He worked his way through school and took on the humblest of jobs. Education to him was the ultimate key to golden opportunities. Unrelentingly, he pursued to attain the highest level of education. He attributes what he has achieved to abundant blessings bestowed on him by the good Lord. The author sums up his life as a "blending of the unvarnished realities of living and the polished consequences of education."May Ann Segovia-Lao, MD
