CENTRAL SQUARE, N.Y., Sept. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Johnny Santiago, a former US Marine with six years of service and married father of two grown sons who started college at the age of forty-eight, earned two bachelor of science degrees as well as a master's in information systems and pursued a successful thirty-plus-year career in computer engineering, has completed his new book "Perseverance: The Events and Struggles of Growing Up Abused": a candid account of the daunting challenges he overcame in his life journey.
This memoir by Johnny Santiago, who is referred to as John-John by his endearing siblings, is just one sibling in a string of sixteen children by his parents. He has survived impoverishment, physical and mental abuse, racism, the suicide death of his three siblings to also having experienced his young son survive cancer, a thirty-eight-year marriage, and depression. It has given him the wisdom in life to write about it, and despite it all, he overcame the odds against him by graduating high school, becoming a Marine, and achieving a very successful twenty-five-year computer engineering career. Late in life, he has become a graduate of four collegiate science degrees. Johnny is still going strong in his marriage to the mother of his children and in his continuation of maintaining a great bond with his two adult sons.
