Description:
A Promise to Persevere chronicles the life of Michael Miller, a troubled youth who dropped out of high school and became a father at 14. Not until faced with death was Miller empowered to overcome his obstacles through the power of education. In a matter of three years, he obtained his GED, A.A. degree, and a B.A. degree from Morehouse College and set a national record as the first person ever to do so--all while being a single parent. He later received a Masters degree and is currently a successful Ph.D. candidate. Miller now reflects on his past life with pride and understands that his repeated failures slowed his race to the finish line, but that did not prevent him from getting there. In this moving autobiography of a once hopeless boy, one feels the warmth of hope and perseverance; one is taught that finishing the race is all that matters--even if it takes twenty-five years.
