Book excerpt: "Never Give Up" is the story of a child who discovers his purpose in life, receives some direction from his parents and then goes after his goal with persistence and tenacity until he achieves his mission.Kenny Walker, III grew up in a typical urban neighborhood located in Richmond, CA, where his environment made it difficult to stay on the right path. There were people all around him who struggled to make ends meet as others were easily influenced into crimes that often occurred on the very streets that he grew up on. Kenny received constant peer pressure to do the wrong thing and got caught up until his parents feared for his wellbeing and future. Kenny's mother sent him to live with his father who introduced him to sports and demanded that he focus on his studies. His father took a "hands-on-approach" and constantly worked with Kenny until he changed his destructive mindset and gave Kenny something productive to fill his time, which was track and football. Kenny loved it so much until he made it his mission to make it to the NFL and become a professional football player.The only problem with becoming a professional football player was that the odds were against him. There were life situations that exposed many problems and obstacles that constantly challenged Kenny's faith in achieving his goal. There were setbacks after setbacks causing him to question if it would ever happen for him. His father constantly reminded him to "Never Give Up" because only quitters lose in the end. This story ends triumphantly because of faith, hard work, natural and acquired skills he used to set himself apart from other athletes.. This book is written for children to learn what it takes to become successful at anything they want to do in life, despite guaranteed obstacles.
