Book Summary
Nelson was a successful doctor,
his best friend Jesse was an award-winning architectural engineer, and his
brother Alvin ended up in jail. Nelson tells about his childhood of living in a
single parent home in a poor area with gangs and drugs. His grandparents taught
him, Alvin, and Jesse valuable lessons on how to become successful, but Alvin
always resisted learning.
Grandma tells them about the struggles of Benjamin Franklin, George Washington
Carver, Helen Keller, and Abraham Lincoln. After hearing of their struggles,
Nelson and Jesse felt ashamed that they had complained about things being
difficult. Grandpa read to them, “Dare to Dream Guidelines.” Alvin’s refusal to
listen caused him to end up in jail; however, Nelson and Jesse listened and
became successful.
