Book- Journey To The Future:

A Roadmap to Success for Youth

Description: I invite you to spend quality time with this book which is a powerful presentation that interweaves messages of values, ethics and appropriate lifestyle for today’s youth.  Refuse to neglect your growth and development.  Visit each of these chapters with the idea that you will learn something about yourself--and about life itself.  Read with and open mind and a willing heart.  Have the courage to follow the recommendations and actions I suggest throughout the book.  Don't do it for me--do it for yourself.  Above all, take the advice my parents gave me whenever I doubted my abilities or was told I could not achieve something.  Whenever I used the word "can't," my parents would say Porque No--Why Not?"
