Overview

You are the creator of your destiny. With these words, Victor Allman sums up his life story. This book tells of the many challenges he encountered and how he dealt with them. Allman proceeds from the view that all challenges are surmountable if you are goal-driven and results-oriented. Born in Barbados, Allman's goal was to become a lawyer, his grandmother's dying wish. A winding road, replete with fascinating detours, took him into teaching, and then into the Royal Barbados Police Force and international athletics, ultimately leading to further education and a long career in Canada.
