I have always been lucky in my life and
when I was born in Long Branch New Jersey it was no exception. I had
to have open lung surgery and my lungs almost collapsed, I was lucky
to live. As a young boy I was wild and always drifting through life
with ease; I was a track star in high school, always had lots of
friends, and was a good student. But as I grew older I forgot about
my dreams and desires, with little thought I choose Accounting as my
major and realized this mistake too late. After college I had over
50,000 dollars in debt which I had to pay back, it took me 3 years of
hard work and determination but I paid every cent back. Now I wanted
to go on an adventure and enjoy life, I signed up for a program in
California for 3 months to travel and work in different national
parks there. This experience opened my eyes to how life could be
challenging and fun at the same time. Finally I wanted to continue
this way of life, I looked for a job where I could experience a new
culture and learn everyday, I found the Heart For Change program in
Colombia where I am now working in Escuela Normal Superior.
