Rameck Hunt grew up in a childhood where the only person he could depend was his grandma. He had many ups and downs in his life, like dealing with his mom being a drug addict, hanging with the wrong crowd who got him into trouble, and thinking the way to succeed in life is by selling drugs and stealing. Even though he kept hanging out with the wrong crowd, he wanted to be a different person. With the help of his two friends Sampson and George, he came to be a successful person. The hardest thing he had to overcome was his anger problems. When he was in high school, he sprayed a teacher with silly string, beat a boy up and broke his neck. He had to go to court and jail. He decided he had to deal with his anger problems and let go. He started to go to school more he signed up for and got good grades in school, he turned his life around and graduated from medical school. (We Beat the Street by Dr. Rameck Hunt, Dr. Sampson Davis, and Dr. George Jenkins)
