About this ebook

The title of this book is growing up in America because it is a blended writing of the issues in America that has gotten us to the critical point that our nation faces right now. It provides examples of both the mistakes and successes that we have made throughout the years. It describes the current social structures that we have in place. In it I discuss the mistakes of big business taking jobs overseas and forcing the re-education of our nation and trying to foster the false foundation that everything is going to be ok. I discuss some of the mistakes that our government has made throughout history that has gotten us to a nation that may not make it around the next bend without some serious repercussions unless we band together to effect change.
Each chapter takes the personal life of a significant person from our history and addresses an example from that person. Every one of them at some point in their life effected critical change in this country. Some of them carry the title of hero and everyone knows them as an everyday name. A couple of them carry the title hero and hardly anyone knows who that person is, while a couple of them are known as today’s hero, and should have never carried the title.

Growing Up In America
Author

J. Stephan Painter

I grew up poor, and then into trouble. I served as a United States Marine on foreign and domestic shores. I worked for the largest Electronics Corporation in the world at the time just to get a lay off slip as my job went to Mexico. I bounced for over ten years from job to job trying to become stable again in a destabilizing economy. I was forced to re-educate myself more than once just to survive, but I did it. I have found that survival ties in with constant education. Some of it is formal, and some of it is not so formal.I finally found my own common ground working with teen-aged boys that struggle from some of my own personal and similar issues. I also provide my technical skills to a technical college teaching young adults, and some not so young adults how to survive technically in today’s workplace. I teach computer information systems and office software applications. I now have over 15 years’ experience as a professional counselor, and 12 years’ experience as a technical instructor. I have learned to survive and make a living out of struggling. I am professional at struggling... trust me.
