{"product_id":"9781456877316","title":"LIFE, IT'S ALL ABOUT CHOICES","description":"I was born in the upper Northwest in a middle income, single worker family with loving  \u003cbr\u003eparents and three great brothers. While growing up I quickly learned the importance  \u003cbr\u003ethat no matter what choices I made, I would have to be accountable for those choices.  \u003cbr\u003eFinishing high school in Canon City, Colorado made me realize that I needed more  \u003cbr\u003eeducation than my diploma could provide for me to be successful in my life. Working  \u003cbr\u003eunderground in a mine in Leadville, Colorado was very helpful in my decision to pursue  \u003cbr\u003efurther education. So back to school I went after a wonderful two year stay in Heilbronn,  \u003cbr\u003eGermany thanks to Uncle Sam. It took me several years to complete my desired  \u003cbr\u003emaster's degree but it was well worth it.  \u003cbr\u003eNeedless to say I have made a large amount of bad choices in my life that have cost  \u003cbr\u003eme emotionally and financially but I hope and pray that I have learned from those  \u003cbr\u003emistakes. Without a doubt I have made some great choices that have blessed me for  \u003cbr\u003emany years. I am a human being so therefore along with the good comes the bad and  \u003cbr\u003eas a young man I quickly learned that I had to own up to my choices. I am currently  \u003cbr\u003eworking in a psychiatric unit in New Mexico and am so grateful for and happy in my  \u003cbr\u003ejob. God has richly blessed me with my loving family who are the center of my life. An  \u003cbr\u003eexcellent choice on my part.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128911216880,"sku":"9781456877316","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781456877316_p0.jpg?v=1763862923","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781456877316","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
