Rising Above
My Path to Outstanding Achievements
by
Dr. Narine Dat Sookram
Dr. Narine Dat Sookram’s journey from a small town in Guyana to earning a doctorate and making a difference in Canada is a story of perseverance, resilience, and generosity. In Rising Above: My Path to Outstanding Achievements, he shares how challenges shaped his character and fueled his determination to succeed in the task he was focused on. Always trying to uplift those around him, from empowering his peers through a youth group to supporting newcomers in Canada, Dr. Sookram’s dedication to community and education has been a constant in his life. His many achievements and accolades reflect not only his hard work but also his commitment to helping others thrive. Rising Above: My Path to Outstanding Achievements is part autobiography and part how-to, and in it, Dr. Sookram offers practical insights and shows you that with determination, kindness, and a forward-thinking mindset, remarkable achievements are possible.
After emigrating to Canada from Guyana in 1993, Dr. Narine Dat Sookram has become one of the country’s most accomplished individuals. With over 200 awards, he holds the distinction of being the most decorated individual in Canadian history. Dr. Sookram’s academic journey is equally impressive, with over a dozen university degrees, including a doctorate in social work. He is a proud member of the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, and his work reflects a lifelong commitment to helping others grow and thrive. In addition to Rising Above: My Path to Outstanding Achievements, Dr. Sookram has also published a poetry book, The Teenage Years. He lives in Canada with his wife, three children, and parents. When he’s not writing or mentoring, he enjoys listening to music and connecting with people from all walks of life.
