Recommendation for The Pact

          The Pact by the Three Doctors is a great book to read, it is a book that can relate to a lot of teenager life in this day and time now. They faced things like smoking drugs, drinking, Robbing people, stealing from stores; Fight other kids and being involved in gangs. This book related to me growing up as a teen in Robeson County, so I know it can relate to you growing up were ever you from, because as teens we all face the same things in poor community no matter what town or state your from, you just got to learn how to overcome what you go through and find a way to use what you been threw as a tool for success. In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure. Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another. Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. “People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them.”  George Bernard Shaw, Mrs. Warren's Profession This book teaches and helps inspire young teen to do better no matter the circumstances that they go through, because everyone go through life with some kind of problem. You should not use problems as a reason to fail. This book is the number one selling book because people of the inspiration that the book gives other. I recommend everyone especially young teens to read this book. The three doctors grew up in the streets of Newark, facing city life’s temptations, pitfalls, even jail. But one day these three young men made a pact. They promised each other they would all become doctors, and stick it out together through the long, difficult journey to attaining that dream. Sampson Davis, George Jenkins, and Rameck Hunt are not only friends to this day—they are all doctors. This is a story about the power of friendship. They teach you about the power of joining forces and beating the odds of the streets of Newark when everyone knows your going to fail. This is a story about changing your life, and the lives of those you love most together. As teenagers from a rough part of Newark, New Jersey, Sampson Davis, Rameck Hunt, and George Jenkins had nothing special going for them except loving mothers (one of whom was a drug user) and above-average intelligence. Their first stroke of luck was testing into University High, one of Newark's three magnet high schools, and their second was finding each other. They were busy staying out of trouble (most of the time), and discovering the usual ways to skip class and do as little schoolwork as possible, when a recruitment presentation on Seton Hall University reignited George's childhood dream of becoming a dentist. The college was offering a tempting assistance package for minorities in its Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental Plus Program. George convinced his two friends to go to college with him. They would help each other through. None of them would be allowed to drop out and be reabsorbed by the Newark streets.
