Featuring Gene Mosley. Gene is a certified behavior change specialist and will discuss the teen Opioid crisis
Gene Mosley’s adolescent years were like many of the young kids he now tries to rescue and develop into successes. He grew up in a fatherless home on the mean streets of inner city Houston. His demons included drugs, skipping school, disrespecting his teachers and even his mother, because at his core he blamed himself for his father’s departure. He failed the second grade. His love of smoking and stealing with friends of similar desolation led to him skipping most of sixth and seventh grade. He went on to fail the eighth grade.
Ironically, it wasn’t until he physically assaulted his high school basketball coach that he got the break he wants to give every other young adult like him, or at least, as he was. As a former at-risk youth, or what he prefers to call ‘former high-potential youth’, he has lived the challenges that he sees in many of the faces he encounters today - succeeding in school, conquering fear, overcoming rejection, staring down negative peer pressure, beating poverty, battling anxiety and depression, and being labeled a sell-out. He is passionate about sharing his experiences that so many others can share. Shaking off the at-risk youth label and replacing it with All-American Collegiate Scholar and College Graduate are good starts. He believes that society favors the prepared mind and today’s at-risk youth can be just as successful as anybody else if they commit themselves to reaching their highest potential. Gene wants to inspire the youth to stay in school in order to give themselves a chance at a prosperous adult life, and he believes the keys to doing so are personal responsibility, attitude, discipline, decisions, perseverance, communication, persistence, and forgiveness. He will share his story through strategic storytelling and the many lessons he learned as he pursued his dream of becoming a college graduate that today’s high-potential youth, also known as at-risk youth, can apply to their lives. |
