The Making Of A Professional: A West Indian-American Story Of The Mantra Of Hope

It takes hope to achieve your dreams-hope and faith. Montgomery C. Prescod never lost hold of either. Born in the Caribbean country of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Prescod discovered grief at an early age. The death of his mother when he was just thirteen deeply affected the young man-and that tragedy was made worse when his father moved to a different island and left Prescod in the care of his loving grandmother. Determined to be the man his mother knew he'd become, Prescod graduated from high school with honors and immigrated to the United States in 1986, where he spent ten years struggling to survive in the bustle of New York City. Prescod might still be performing odd jobs on New York streets had he not enlisted in the US Army. That decision led to twenty-one years of service and the opportunity to become a skilled and caring psychologist. It was a chance he seized with both hands despite all obstacles life threw his way. The Making of a Professional recounts Prescod's remarkable journey and the faith that bolstered him throughout difficult times.
