Reaching For The Moon

The Fulfillment of a Dream

The question is quite ironic
and varies from mind to mind.
What is the purpose of life and living,
the question comes up from time to time.
The answer is short and simple...
and brings happiness to an extreme.
For the purpose of life and living
is the fulfillment of a dream.

by Gerald Bauldock Sr.

About the book:
With high school dropout rates as high as 30 to 50 percent in some of the major cities in this country, it has become a major concern to understand what factors are preventing our youth from achieving their academic potential.
Reaching for the Moon is a story that focuses on the intellectual development of a young black man raised in an urban environment. His quest for furthering his education is hindered by negative influences and expectations which predict an outcome of failure.
This is a touching story that describes some of the innermost feelings and dreams that can be experienced. It is a story of believing, discovering, suspense, and surprise. It gives definition to words like desire, pride and ambition. It's a learning experience and anyone who wants more out of life and has the courage to go after it will find this book very enjoyable.
