This is the second book in the Student Veteran's Experience with Higher Education series. This book focuses on the importance of support during your academic journey. Your support system is not just by blood, although family is important, it is also the relationships built from employment, church, academic and student organizations- many of which result in life-long friendships. The author's research into availability of support for PTSD is personal and informative. He shares new stories and literature with the hope that other student-veterans will read his story and be encouraged about their decision to move forward in their academic life. He also hopes that educators discover what it is like to be a student-veteran and can facilitate success in their classroom. There are unique challenges for student-veterans in the academic world, but through good times and bad, this story demonstrates that it is all worth it. Peppi helped a lot, too!

Oleksandr Zinchenko's story is so much more than a typical footballer's story. He has shown heroism of a very different kind through his extraordinary campaigning in support of Ukraine throughout the ongoing war with Russia. Although his instinct was to join the fight, he decided - following the advice from close loved ones - that he could make the most difference by using his platform to spread awareness and raise money. A fan favourite at Arsenal and previously at Manchester City, Zinchenko, has been lighting up the Premier League with his fearless performances for many years. Although, his success has not come without its challenges. Having begun his career as a teenager at Shakhtar Donetsk, his world was upended when Russia invaded the Donbas region and he was stranded in Russia. But after he joined Manchester City in 2016 he would go on to experience exhilarating career highs, with four league titles in six years, before moving to Arsenal where he has played an integral part in their return to the top.Written with candour and bravery, Triumph & Tears is no ordinary tale of success on the pitch, but one of unwavering strength and integrity, tempered by sadness and anger. It provides unique insights into the methods of Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta. It is the story of a selfless man who prioritised his homeland's welfare before his own - delivering his best on and off the field.

He questioned the system and paid the price....But 44 years ago, he played for the Dallas Cowboys for a single season as a middle linebacker. During his rookie season in 1973, the 23-year-old from Waco was a backup to a fading legend, Lee Roy Jordan, and was traded by October of 1974 before he vanished from pro football altogether just two years later.His official Rice University biography, penned upon his induction into that school's hall of fame in 2011, notes that his career was cut short by injuries. Bu that is not the whole truth. Rodrigo Barnes was, he has long believed, punished for being an outspoken black man in an industry controlled by white men. He was banished for being "a radical at a time when radicals weren't popular", beloved Cowboy's wide receiver Drew Pearson once said.It might be tempting to say that before there was a Colin Kaepernick, there was Rodrigo Barnes - a man exiled from the game he loved. There may be a certain truth to the comparison. Both men sacrificed their pro football careers to protest the treatment of black men in America.

Wyatt Crown was mine. I was his.I'd been cherished by a man that had once cherished nothing. Feeling his hands on my body. His breath on my skin. The soft whisper of him caresses my soul. He was imprinted on my soul. In that moment I didn't feel alone anymore. I do now.After the crash, I fear the outcome of those I love. I'm afraid as my world crumbles. Calling out in the cold darkness, the lack of a reply crushes me. My heart breaks. Shredding into a million pieces, it leaves me broken and scarred.Why am I going through this again?
