вЂњI didnвЂ™t have a male role model in the home,вЂќ he explained. Growing up, Tatum did not have much of a relationship with his own father. вЂњI was raised in a single parent home,вЂќ he said. Beyond poverty, there were other challenges Tatum faced. A lot of drugs, a lot of crime, a lot of abuse- whether physical or verbal- a lot of domestic issues I saw as a kid,вЂќ Tatum states when describing the place he grew up. вЂњThere wasnвЂ™t much for kids my age at the time. The area of Great Brook Valley was utterly poverty-stricken. Tatum states his childhood вЂњimpacted my driveвЂќ towards his future. вЂњI didnвЂ™t like it too much,вЂќ he admitted, and so he went to continue his high school career at Holy Name Junior Senior High School. After finishing junior high, his family moved to Shrewsbury for a year where he attended Shrewsbury High for his freshman year. Attending grades K-8, he went to Harlow Street вЂ“ a school now closed-down вЂ“ and went to Burncoat Middle. Tatum grew up in Worcester, Massachusetts in Great Brook Valley. Although Tatum has authority and is a well-respected staff member at this school, he does have a history and personal life, too.
