In His Shoes

In His ShoesWhat do you and Ulysses S. Grant have in common? At one time, Ulysses was a kid . . . just like you.

Blah, blah, blah. You knew that. But it's kind of hard to believe, isn't it?

See if you can convince yourself by digging through some of this stuff. Hear what Ulysses had to say about things like school, work, and hanging out. Learn what happened to him when he left the familiar comforts of home and family behind.

Find out what it was like to walk In His Shoes. Is it anything like walking in your own?
