As I have previously stated, I never lived in the streets in a bad part of town. My life has consisted of farmland and dairy cows for as long as I can remember. Despite these differences I can draw a clear parallel to my life from the book. During their high school years the boys go through many travails.

I learned who my true friends were just like Rameck.

The three young men are known as Sam, George and Rameck. Each of these characters posses a different personality which contributes to the book as a whole.

After reading The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz I realized I’ve been living dreams of other people in my life and not my own. It was decided early on what I should do, what’s possible and what’s not. Starting at birth we are told what to think by our parents, schools, and church. Subconsciously, we have made agreements with them to live our life according to their rules. Don Miguel believes that these agreements are self-limiting and shares four agreements that if we adapt into our lives we will reach true peace and happiness. The book made so much sense to me, but the hard part is to actually commit to living out the four agreements. In short, the four agreements are listed below:

During the process of becoming successful, people have to try their best to face many difficulties and pushes themselves to overcome a lot of obstacles. People who have different culture, background and living environments have different problems, some of whom should make more efforts to achieve success.

His over emotional personality and his rough growing environment are most difficult obstacles that he has

When I read “The Pact”, I felt some connection between the characters; Sampson Davis, George Jenkins, and Hunt Rameck. Throughout their hardship and struggles, It encouraged me to read on. But as I continued reading on, the three main characters stood out the most. But out of those three characters, one stood out in particular.

Dr. Hunt is someone I could relate to, someone I could see becoming friends with.
