Finding Pride

For as much as he ever wanted to do the right thing, it seemed Tad Kaphar never could. With a life of gangs, drugs, and alcohol came a rash of subsequent consequence. Waking up every morning after to the realities of whatever aftermath he was faced with did nothing to change him.

Knowing that only he held the key to his having a better life, Tad realized that he would have to overcome personal demons disguised as emotions, reconstruct a negative self-concept that was built by others, and learn how to deal with the mountain of guilt he was storing inside. Dealing with difficulties head-on was never his style before, but that all changed when he realized that this, in fact, was the key he was searching for.
