**BLACK AND WHITE PICTURES COPY** Over 150+ Photos Inside! If you're like most parents you work too much, life is a constant rush to get from one thing to the next and there's less time for quality parenting. You often feel like time is slipping away and your kids, your biggest investment in life, are disconnected from you in just about every way. If you're like most kids, you're staying up way too late on your electronics, and you believe in ghosts because you feel like one when you drag yourself out of bed in the morning for school. You sleep through most of your classes, you hate your homework and could care less about most of your subjects. Every day is like a prison sentence, and your parents are constantly kicking your butt about A-Z and never satisfied with you. This was the life that 14-year-old Sam and his father Michael experienced day after day. Until they both sat down together to talk about an idea, something radical that would make a change for the better. After Sam's freshman year of high school, he entered the world of homeschool. But his father Michael, a serial self-employed entrepreneur, had far-out ideas on what was most important to teach his son. Together they spent the next 2 years doing very outside-the-box, real-life skill learning; which culminated into a surprise mega-challenge for Sam... At 16-years-old, he would wake one morning in April, without notice, and be told to go to the airport, get on a flight and start an around-the-world solo trip. Sam would have no known itinerary or what he would be tasked and challenged to accomplish until he woke up each morning to a new email from his father, who was half way around the world. This book is Sam's account of this wild adventure and his achievement to become a true BearZilla! You won't believe the places he'll go and the views he'll see on his own, and the transformation Sam will undertake. Read The Making of a BearZilla today to see what Sam was capable of at such a young age, and just what challenges his father had planned for him in order for Sam to succeed ‒ in both his trip and for the rest of his life.
