The author emerged from a small, rural district in Jamaica, where at times he attended primary school without shoes. But he has earned five degrees and became president of his alma mater - Jamaica's premier multi-disciplinary college. This is a story that needed to be told, and is told in this book. Not for narcissistic ego-stoking, but to inspire other persons, especially those not born into wealth or privileged circumstances. For this reason, at its core this book is really a device, a machine if you will, for motivation. The analogy of a machine is used because a machine exists to do something, and the "something" this book is intended to do is inspire and motivate. This is Volume 2 of the author's 4-Volume Autobiography. It covers the author's remarkable educational journey, beginning in the basement of a woman's house, then being dubbed a "dunce" and placed at the back of the class, followed by failure of his high school entrance examination twice resulting in him not attending one of Jamaica's elite secondary schools, and then his getting a "second bite at the education cherry" that placed him on a path culminating at the pinnacle of the education pyramid; this volume also details his initial foray into the world of work.
