Inhaltsangabe

At an early age we learn to emphasize our strengths and to hide our "character-building" experiences. Not so for contributors to this book. In Character for Tomorrow, we hear the voices of young men (ages 15 - 25) as they confront challenging times, define their core values and shape their futures by (i) fitting in, yet staying true to themselves, (ii) dealing with reality: "Ultimately, I knew I would be happy being Goose rather than Maverick," (iii) handling rejection, a family break-up or even death or incarceration of a parent, (iv) embracing risk, responsibility, mentors, parents and self-esteem with "one surge of effort at a time," (v) getting in touch with emotions, learning to serve others or recognizing true love and (vi) finding a college major, a career, faith or a sense of purpose. Story contributors include class presidents, star athletes, valedictorians, aspiring artists, dedicated volunteers, young men of strong faith and all-around great guys.
