The growing up on the streets of New York City, mainly on the streets of Brooklyn, that afforded him the opportunity to be educated and raised in a multi cultural environment. That he confesses to be the main place he holds responsible in the development of his insights, wisdom and the ability to connect with the youth of today and young adults.
It was during several of his past experiences, while working in the recreation field. When the reason for writing this book came to mind. During the development, the implementing and the maintaining of several youth programs along with the maintaining of a caseload of seventy-five (75) teens and young adults at a youth intervention center. That allowed him to gather hands on information to support the writing of this book, Food For Thought.
Along with his strong sense of character, and the willingness to share these insights gained. The reason became clear, which build an over bearing amount of concern, for today’s youth & young adults development. To better Focus and address the concerns in their lives and in today’s society. It was through the combination of these reasons and insights that give him this ability to communicate with them. By reaching them through the essence of what their feeling, what they need and want in life. By just sharing the insight with them, on how to look at themselves their experiences and to understand them, to the point of gaining insight is not enough.
By doing so the hope is to set an example for them to view and mimic him as a positive (Hispanic) male role model. That has no reservations in helping those that need and want help.
So he wrote this book to point out the need in talking about the sharing of words of wisdom & the insights that follow that are important for today’s youth & young adults to hear them. Not only does he express his concerns through this book, he does so with a true passion in his massage to all. This is just one of the many reasons why this book has become so important to him. To also leave those that cross his path with something to reflect on.
Note: That the end of this book, is the beginning for each.view less
