My Story

I AM THE 3RD CHILD OF MY PARENT 8 CHILDREN. I WAS BORN in the rural South.Namely South Hampton County of the state of Virginia.We were semi Slaves Share Croppers. I grew up on a farm DURING MANUAL LABOR in the fields of cotton, corn, peanuts, and hay.The days in the summer got very hot. We work the the field in the heat of temperatures of 98-100%.The work was hard, back breaking and laborious.
In the winter time the temperature got very, very, cold. But no matter what, we had to endure the heat in the summer and the cold weather in the winter time. Our schooling always took second place to working the farm. My grades and learning the lesson that was being taught in class in school suffered very badly. I fell 3 grades behind during the fourth grade through the 7th grade.

My story Continued….

After a hard and grueling farm life in two states; Virginia and North Carolina in early childhood and as an adolescent, I finally left the countries and squeezed into college. I REALLY struggled for a 5 year term working before and after classes both on and off campus. What is so ironic about my early college months is that most of my class mates though I really was smart and had a lot on the ball. When we sometime gathered in the library for study they would gather around my table TO LISTEN TO ME TALK AND LEANED ON EVERY WORD THAT I SPOKE and would frequently ask me where did I learn all of that stuff. I WOULD mostly be talking about making a better life and a better world for everyone to live more better and worth while life. I guess growing up poor and living a hard life, I MYSELF was continually seeking a better way of life for my self. I SPOKE the thoughts that was constantly on my mind and in my head. Even though life in college was hard, I made the deans list 3 semesters in a row. I ALSO TOOK CLASSES AT night and went to summer classes for two summers. I WAS DETERMINED TO FINISH college and with Gods BLESSINGS AND HIS HELP, I FINALLY DID. AND BECAUSE I DID FINISH, I got to go places and do things in life that I would not have gotten to do otherwise.

This book is about how I MADE MY FIRST Sale Online. I remember as if it was yesterday. I was setting at my computer when
my phone rang. when i ANSWERED the phone, it was a male voice on the other end. He said I am looking for the butter roasted cashews. And he went on to say that I have not had any for about ten years. I though to myself, I had not yet created the Butter Roasted Cashews back then and I asked him just what did he mean. Then he said that he had a taste for butter Roasted Cashews. Then I told him the whole story about and when I ACTUALLY created my brand Peets Butter Roasted nut snack foods. After which, he placed an order for $89.00 worth Butter Roasted Cashews.
