American Dream
On Tuesday February 23, 2013 the ENC 1102 class of Professor
Kelly Warren joined another group to listen to a Life Coach like speaker named
Mauricio Garcia. The speaker nicknamed “Mo”
is the owner of “MG Success Services LL C”, a motivational coaching service. Mo also identified himself as good colleague of
Professor Warren. The speaker shared the story of his journey to the present
state of working and living his life’s passion and calling in his career. He shared that when he and his family came to
the U.S.; although he faced many challenges beyond his control, there we
situations that he experienced because of his lack to allow himself to change
and grow. For example; he did not even attempt to learn fluent English until he
was in the country for around 5 plus years. Not being able to fluently speak English was
a major barrier that stood in between Mo reaching his “Dream”. He continued to
go through life stumbling around his deep rooted fear of change. Once Mo faced
his fears, did a self-survey and then applied the information towards his goals;
was he then able to overcome his shortcoming and move forward in appositive way
towards reaching his optimal career potential. His speech was very interesting,
informative and humorous. After hearing the speech I was inspired to look at
some of the challenges I face in life. I began to put them in categories of
importance to resolve, and further categorized them by the benefit I would receive
as a result of the resolution. I am now in the stages of evaluating if there
are any reasonably obtainable solutions. Not only was Mo speech enjoyable,
but one would be wise to wager that he left a lot of the students with serious
thoughts of encouragement. We are
hopeful that our American Dream, whatever that may be for the individual, is reachable.
