American Abroad: The Struggles of Youth

By Charles Glenn

Five years, three computers and one notebook later and my story of American Abroad is now complete. This is the story of my adolescence to my adulthood. It is a story of how I came from being a boy to how I have come to be a man.

Throughout my story I had to overcome and also succumb to the passions of life. I learned to live and love as I learned to speak and stand.

I hope this story helps you to learn to address your own life story and complete it as you should. You will see that my stumbling created a movement toward correction after I learned to look optimistically ahead. I had to learn to love and embrace my hardships in order to stand tall with all of my blemishes.

This story was written as a bold move in order to spur national correction through the impact of one man, or one woman, or one child. My wish is that its pages jolt you to make a move to be an American Abroad.
