All The Way

From the start of the book All The Way by Jordin Tootoo he talks about how tough the life is up north. Jordin is a kid that made it out of a house full of booze and parents that were drunk most of the time. But he didn't just get out he is on his way to blow everyone minds. This is why I believe that the way you grow up helps form who you will be in the future. For example Jordin grows up in the north where it survival as soon as you walk out of the town and if you don't know what your doing then you can consider yourself done. The hockey up there didn't really have much for rules so it was a lot rougher then we know as of down here. I believe that is why he is as tough as he is. Jordin also I believe is his biggest motivator. He pushes himself to get out of his home town and do good in hockey. His main reason he pushes himself is because of his parents and how they treat him after they have been drinking. He also knows he has the talent to go far and possibly be the first of his kind to play in the NHL. From just the start of this book what I believe is starting to really show and that is that there is a difference between strong and tough. Jordin is the definition of tough. Mentally and Physically.
