This was accomplished despite: 1) Having a learning disability: 2) Repeating fourth grade; 3) Not being prepared for college-level work; 4) Being told by his high school guidance counselor that he did not have the necessary IQ to succeed in college; and 5) Having no support from friends or family and being continuously put down. He took this as a challenge causing him to set high goals for himself, which he exceeded despite these obstacles. This book not only recounts Dr. Rubin’s personal victories but also serves as a roadmap for readers seeking inspiration and guidance to conquer their own hurdles.
