Let's Guide Our Destiny by Gaining Ground!
About
The Guide of Destiny Foundation has a mission to guide and develop the minds of our youth while providing mentorships that allows them to have a successful adulthood. What I am most proud of is the drive and determination to make this mission a reality. We have to learn to trust the process and be patient. What sets us apart from others is the simple fact our mentors are just what they are. Everything is not taught in school or can be found in a book. We all go through things and it takes strong individuals to be able to rebuild and jump back on the pathway of life without giving up.
Communities that THRIVE project
Gaining Ground is an amazing organization that motivates those who have taken wrong turns to get back on track. It has been a pleasure working with clients doing tutoring and life coaching. Mr. Smith and the team at Gaining Ground are like family. As I launch the Communities that THRIVE Project, I feel that we can change the course of this nation, one life at a time.
About
As a culture, we are bombarded by negative influences that make our younger generation less successful both academically and socially. Social media has made things worst. Today, many parents need coaching as much as their kids. We must move individuals from a victim mindset promoted in pop culture to the success mindset promoted in this program. All of us need more sources of positive entertainment that are both fun and educational. Positive educational entertainment builds minds, creates a love for learning, and gives a clear vision for a bright future.
