From Odd Jobs to College Dreams | Charles F. Zitting Journal Ep. 4

What does it take to chase a dream when you have almost nothing?

In Episode 4 of The Journal of Charles F. Zitting, we continue reading from Sam's grandfather's personal journal as he reflects on his teenage years. Charles shares memories of the many jobs he worked to help support himself, the determination that carried him through high school, and his unwavering desire to attend the University of Utah—even though he had no money and no clear path to get there.

His story is one of perseverance, hard work, and the belief that education could open doors to a better future. As we read his words, we also discuss what these experiences reveal about his character and how they would shape the life he eventually built.

Whether you're interested in family history, early Utah life, or stories of resilience, we hope you'll join us as we continue exploring the remarkable life of Charles F. Zitting.

📖 This series follows the autobiography of Sam's grandfather, Charles F. Zitting, with our commentary and reflections along the way.
