Greetings Change Agents,
When I was teen, even though I was a straight A student,
I was arrested 5 times and subsequently expelled from
high school 6 weeks before graduation. My parents often
overlooked my social misbehavior because of my great
grades. I went on to graduating high school on schedule
without repeating a single grade. The school
administration and my parents felt that great grades
meant I was a great student. Sadly, this was not true.
They forget there was a such thing as a smart criminal.
 As
an adult, I continued my intelligence but also my social
dysfunction. Most of my friends were either convicted
felons or dead. I continuously found myself in trouble
but now as a father of 3 sons my thought-process slowly
changed. One day, I watched my then 7 year-old son carry
out behaviors that mirrored me. I saw a grim future for
him. I wanted a change. But how? I reflected on my life
and what led to my many negative encounters. I decided
to get serious about my life and get it on the right
track.
I made a decision to separate myself from the world as
much as I possibly could without sacrificing my family's
livelihood and way of life. No friends, few relatives,
little entertainment, just minimal outside influences.
Little did I know, what I was undergoing was a renewal
of the mind, values, and spirit through denying of self.
This wasn't easy. It was possibly the hardest period in
my life. But when I came out on the other end, I
realized that it was the best thing I ever did. I
decided to chronicle the steps that I took to elevate my
life. When I was finished, I came out with the "One
Degree at a Time Behavior Transformation" system. This
is not an easy transition but it is well worth it. You
experience life in its abundance instead of through a
limited, coached, environmental influenced lens. Many
who knew me before, now view me as a stranger but in
actuality, my dysfunctional behavior was the true
stranger. It was not who I was born to be.
Today, I have not only permanently renewed my life, I
have made accomplishments in months that take others
years. This is not a theoretical ineffective course. My
new attitude allowed me to become a successful
businessman, college professor and author. This program
contains practical lessons that difficult youth and
frustrated adults of today can relate to. It builds
self-confidence, knowledge, awareness, and more. It's
ageless and timeless. The tools contained ensures the
participants are able to rewrite their own futures.
Thanks for stopping and I hope we can partner with you
to help enrich the lives of those who needs us most.
In Love and Harmony,
Professor Devin
