Embracing the Awkward is here to show you how living in the moment, being proactive, and learning to laugh it off can ease your transition into adulthood. Joshua Rodriguez, popular YouTuber and motivational speaker, has aided hundreds of thousands of teens and will inspire you too in your quest for success"--Page 4 of cover.
