He was recognized as a talented athlete and scholar in the classroom. While Ivan made progress in his activities, so many of his promising peers began to scatter along the way. James states: At a young age, I noticed so many of my friends that had the ability to do great things. I played with kids who had the potential to go to the NBA and NFL. I sat next to kids who had the brains to become engineers, lawyers or any profession that they chose. The biggest element missing in their lives was discipline. I have no doubt that a lot of people I knew along the way could be in much better positions today. Discipline would have prevented so many from slipping into activities that would harm their future. Realizing his potential in academics and entertainment, Ivan continued to work hard. His efforts awarded him the chance to receive an education at Florida A&M University. It was in college that he discovered how many doors are open when you work hard and focus. The opportunity to go to college provided Ivan with higher learning, as well as a network of driven individuals seeking to be successful in the world. James adds: One of the biggest benefits of going to college is having the chance to see other young people with a passion to succeed. A person might be born with the determination for excellence, but college is one of the best places for you to nurture that determination. College provides you with the opportunity to build relationships that can benefit you then, as well as along the way. With such a passion and dedication to help others achieve their potential, it was only a matter of time before he decided to publish a book. Go Get Yours is a combination of experiences and messages received by James and re-delivered to the youth of today and tomorrow. The attempt to better our young people is one that Ivan James feels will never be fulfilled. Until we find a way to control the issues affecting the progress of young people, James believes that each young person will always find an excuse. These issues such as poverty, single-parent households, drug abuse, fatherless homes, teen pregnancy and more must become controlled. So many of these problems can be resolved if we choose to start a new trend, which is to think before we go forth with our actions. Ivan developed and released Go Get Yours as a way to encourage todays generation to make choices that will only improve their future, not tarnish it. Previous generations may have left our young people to face problems today that were once created in the past. Rather than pass todays problems to future generations, we can make the step to end the cycle. This book is not the answer, but it can spark the ideas and thoughts that can lead to answers. Go Get Yours is the first book published by Mr. James. His work is filled with inspiring messages and a positive humor that helps us to reflect on ourselves. We can be sure to expect for Mr. James to publish more resources dedicated to young people. Ivan continues to put his efforts into projects that will ultimately benefit those seeking to reach their potential.view less
