But Josh Shipp didn’t need Harvard to know that. Once an at-risk foster kid, he was headed straight for trouble until he met the man who changed his life: Rodney, the foster parent who refused to quit on Shipp and got him to believe in himself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, in \u003cem\u003eThe Grown-Up’s Guide to Teenage Humans\u003c\/em\u003e, Shipp shows all of us how to be that caring adult in a teenager’s life.
