Keynotes
REAL DECISIONS – This is my main speech and is meant to teach students that in a moment they can change their lives by making a real decision. A real decision is a decision made with conviction and a commitment to make things better. This talk will inspire and change student’s beliefs about themselves and their life. Through my personal story of encounters with gangs, drugs, and teenage pregnancy students will understand that life’s challenges can be our greatest gifts, because they can mold us to become even better if we learn from them.
