CHANGE REQUIRES MOVEMENT
The first time I was fired from a job, I realized I had two choices: I could either learn from the experience and grow, or I could stay stagnant and unchanged. Initially, I chose to remain still, but this only caused me more pain. Over time, I came to understand that I needed to move forward and continue evolving as a person. This process of growth and learning is something we all experience multiple times in our lives. I encourage you to listen to this story - perhaps you or someone you know can find it relatable.

IT'S NECESSARY FOR MEN TO CRY
All of my life I've been told that real men don't cry. Heck, there's even a famous song by "The Cure" called "Boys Don't Cry."

My first ever live college book read
After a few years of publishing my book, We Are Not Born Failures. I mustered the courage to do a live read at a University. Thanks to a few professors and friends, I was invited to go speak at my alma mater California State University Northridge, CSUN. The experience was unique since I had never participated in a live read before. The end result was a great talk with Profesor Jocelyn Duarte from the Central American Department on what it's like to be a Salvadoran American working as a sports journalist. Enjoy!
