My Senior Year: The Memoirs of a Belmont Street Boy
Ebook
Overview
My Senior Year is the story of a seventeen-year-old boy whose life is turned upside down when he is forced to move to a new city one day before the beginning of his senior year of high school. But more than that, the story of Nick Bradford and the Belmont Street Boys is one of friendship that grows into lasting community. Along the way, Nick sees what life can become when people of influence use their power to serve others. Told in the style of a memoir, My Senior Year is a coming-of-age story filled with laughter, pathos, surprises, and the kind of interesting people found in the mixed culture of Pueblo, Colorado.
“Jim is a gifted storyteller, and his story of four high school
boys from different backgrounds will make you laugh, as well as tug
at your heartstrings. My Senior Year is also a story about
the selfless way each of us can influence those around us to build
loving and caring communities.”
