His journey took him through urban schools that didnât understand his social, economical and cultural background. Many of his high school teachers told him he would never amount to anything; one teacher once called him, âthe greatest piece of garbage he had ever seen.â Yet the love and support of his family and his drive, passion and dreams led him to overcome those obstacles and pursue a career of life learning and educational success, being the first person in his family to graduate from college with honors. His experiences have led him to always remind Latino youth to, ânever, ever, ever let anyone tell you who you are or what you will become. Thatâs your destiny to fulfill, no one elseâs.â His obsession with living life completely and passionately is only rivaled by his desire to share his message. Heâs been called one of the most dynamic speakerâs under thirty in America today and has the ability to extend the touch of mere spoken words, to transform them into funny, powerful thought-provoking, emotionally charged commentaries about life, education, empowerment and social progress. He lives his life according to the saying, âlife is not measured by the breaths that you take, but rather by the moments in life that take your breath away.â And adds to it by proclaiming, âit doesnât matter how long you live, it matters what you do while you live.â For more information visit him on the web at www.carlosojedajr.com or call toll free at 1.888.300.1880. in partnership with CDbaby User tags: Votes: Reviews: Review it!
