In this compelling story, the first of a three part autobiography, philanthropist and entrepreneur Aaron Robinson capture the duration of his upbringing to his adulthood of once living in the underprivileged black community, Pembroke-Hopkins Park, Illinois, nationally known as one of the poorest areas in America. The more he begins to recognize his family’s struggle from living in poverty, not having consistent running water or electricity, wearing hand-me-down clothes, recognizing his challenges in school, experiencing racism, and so on, he begins to become aggravated while longing for the greater things in life. He begins to slowly wander off in his own world of creativity by embracing a multitude of the gifts that he is blessed with in hopes of making a difference in his life as he looks for every way to escape his everlasting struggles. While being encouraged and inspired to have hope by peers and small counterparts, he diligently begins to dabble in multiple hobbies that would allow him to explore the world as an entrepreneur.

 

Nevertheless, shortcomings, challenges, difficulties, struggles, setbacks, trials and tribulations, and devastations emerge as he seeks direction and looks to stay positive on a journey filled with everlasting dreams that seem so near but yet so far out of reach. Despite losing everything in his family’s home due to a fire, close family members, friends, and mentors continued to help make life better as Robinson continued to believe in his dreams, visions, and goals to become successful and make an eternal impact on society.
