About the Book

A child’s adolescent years suppose to be of joy and happiness growing up and having nothing to worry about but going to school and playing with your friends. Sometimes only if it was true, my life growing up brought on many different troubles, even till today. Do you know what it is like growing up and having people persecuting you for no reason at all? Let reading my book be a lesson to all. I grew up in Trinidad, WI, I had many problems in school, where everyday was a fight for me. The gangs picked me on in my neighborhood. The only time I got revenge was when one was caught alone but I never gave up. Even thought the neighbors told my parents to leave me alone because they will never make hands of me, and I would never amount to anything in life. But as I got into sports I proved them wrong. My name was written in the local newspapers for being a top athlete and because of this brought on jealousy and envy into my life. But I continue to press on. People have a way of doing certain thing to items and leaving it for someone to take. And that’s what happened to me, so if you see anything strange on street corners leave it there. The reason why I’m telling you this is to let you know when God wants you, he will find a way to get you. But when trouble comes to destroy you God is the only way out and he stick closer than a father, mother, sister, brother and a friend in time of need. That’s why I thank him today for all that I have gone through in my life that through his words is strength to fight all my battles. Just as he doing for me he can do the same for you.


About the Author

Who am I is Randolph Pemberton’s first book to be published here in the United States. Born in 1947 in Trinidad, WI, I have worked as a land surveyor, I’m a mason by trade and I also have been a tailor by trade. I enjoy making all types of fashion or looking at fashion. In my young days growing up in Belmont Valley Road and attending Belmont Methodist Primary School, for some reason I always was picked upon as a child. Because of my quiet and humble ways that I myself did not recognize until later in my life. Due to be picking on me, I fought everyday. The reason for me fighting everyday is because I was always by myself and this gave the gangs in the area an opportunity to fight with me. Some days I was really beaten up but I never stopped fighting. Whenever by chance one of the gang members will be caught alone I would take that time to beat them up for what they had done to me. I was so well known for fighting in my area that it got to the point that whenever there was a fight the neighborhood would say that it was that Pemberton boy. I heard people say that I would turn out to be nothing. Some even told my parent’s to leave me because they will never get a hand of me, but my mother never gave up on me.

Later on they found out what was causing all my problems. A woman who dressed like Mother Teresa  met my mother in Porta, Spain which she had never seen before that day. Stopped my mother and told her that she had something to tell her but she did not have her hat on her head. To make a long story short, she told my mother you have a son who is giving you trouble. And the women went on to explain; the reason why he’s given you trouble is because he picked up money off the street corner that some one bathe with and threw it there. It was not set for him but he found it and spend it. She told my mother what to do and after that there was a big change in my life.

Then I went to Fatima Institute Secondary School, my attitude and behavior had changed. I had gotten very quiet and I move with respect. The reason for me telling you this is to let you know when God wants you, he will find a way to get you. There were many plots in my life to destroy me. Is rumors that people had spread to bring me down for the way I carry myself but I hold on to God unchanging hands and now that I have the ability to preach the word of God. If say thanks for the troubles that I have gone through. I will continue to preach the word.
