It did not take long for Chukwudi to realize that to fit in to American society he would have to drop the little he knew of his African roots. His family settled in San Diego, California, where he went through the public school system from 1st to 12th grade, graduating from Morse High School.
Caleb followed his mother’s instructions and enrolled in college. He specialized in Respiratory Therapy, graduating with an Associate in Science at Grossmont College in El Cajon. A year later, Caleb found himself in New Orleans, where he began a journey that brought him back to consciousness.
Caleb was raised in a very strict religious home with his mother and father being devote servants of the Lord. His father came to the U.S. in the early 1980’s through the help of an American missionary and in 1985, his wife and two of his kids were allowed to receive visa’s and travel to America, however, two were left behind. On May 6, 1990, Caleb’s mom had her first son in America, Chukwuedozie Joshua Udejinegwo. Every morning, the Udejinegwo family woke up to read the bible and pray before they left the house to repeat the same devotion before they rested their heads at night. Every Sunday and Wednesday, you can find the Udejinegwo family in a Baptist or Pentecostal church, praising God with their hands, feet, with music, instruments and tithes and offering.
One major inspiration Caleb had as a child was to write a book. The Book of Caleb was put in his “bucket list” of things to do at young age because of his competitive nature with the birth of his brother Joshua. Caleb recalls reading the books of the Old Testament with his father orating and asking, “Why is there a Book of Joshua and no Book of Caleb?” Little did he know then the power of thought and here we are today, August 10, 2012, finishing the last touches of the Book of Caleb.lihat lebih sedikit
