Making a pact to stick together through the rough times in their impoverished Newark neighborhood, three boys found the strength and determination to work through their difficulties in order to complete high school, get through college, and attend medical school together. Sampson, George, and Rameck could easily have followed their childhood friends into drug dealing, gangs, and prison. When they met in high school, they recognized in each other the desire and ability to "beat the street." Along the way they made mistakes, faced disappointments, and nearly failed, but by working hard, finding positive role models, resisting negative influences, and supporting each other at every turn, they achieved their goals, and more. Today they call themselves the Three Doctors, and work in the same community where they grew up--where they run The Three Doctors Foundation, creating opportunities for inner-city communities through education, mentoring, and health awareness.--From publisher description.… (más)

I'm not the main demographic for this book, I did not like it and I understand why some people would love/need to read it. Again just not my thing. ( )

This book is a biography details the lives of three young men from Newark, New Jersey. Those around them were involved in drugs and gangs and often went to prison. The three boys stayed together and pushed one another to become educated and eventually become doctors. The story highlights how important it is to have supportive- long term friendships. The three boys work together to “beat the street” and accomplish their dreams. I liked this book because of its inspirational message and its value on friendship. I also liked how the book switched between the authors writing and real life quotes and conversations from the 3 boys. It kept the book interesting and made it an easy read. ( )

Three boys are growing up on the tough streets of Newark, New Jersey, USA. This is the story of the pact they made to improve their lives through providing support to each other through the bad times. They each made it through high school, college, and medical school whilst their childhood friends followed another path into criminal activity. Today, the three doctors give back to their communities in the hope of inspiring young people to follow their path, rather than he usual one of crime on the streets.

Some of their messages; 'Find people who inspire and encourage you and stick with them. Pick your friends carefully - those with goals similar to yours'... "The person who is successful is the one who doesn't quit".

An inspiring story, told in a series of chapters on each boy during their journey. Excellent reading material for teens. ( )

This book is three stories in one. It tells of three street kids who made a lot of mistakes growing up, but used friendship and positive peer pressure to become successful doctors. The text is easy to read and the message is encouraging to any age and all walks of life. I would recommend the book to anyone who needs a lift or just wants to read some positive material.

This is a true story. We are real people. W e started out as kids in the toughest neighborhoods of Newark, New Jersey, and today we are doctors. We had to fight drugs and crime and hopelessness.
Sampson, Age 6 - "I'm going with you," a six-year-old Sampson Davis bodly told his brother, Andre. Sampson, with honey-gold skin; large eyes with long lashes; and dark, curly hair, stood with his feet spread apart and his arms folded across his chest, daring his brother to challenge him.
