According to the National School Board Association, students experiencing homelessness are 87 percent more likely to drop out of school than their stably housed peers, and without a high school diploma, youth are 4.5 times more likely to experience homelessness later in life. But through the power of growing his perspective and mindset, Griffin transformed his perception of his situation and turned it into something worthwhile. In Boundless, he shares his astonishing childhood story and major themes he learned along the way to defy the odds set against him. His story is a testament that no matter the obstacles, no matter the difficulties that lie ahead, and no matter the lack of resources, anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Griffin believes anyone can apply the principles in this book to create the future they dream of.Zum Buch
