A Local Hero Is Fighting to Reduce Violence, Drug-use, Dropouts, and Despair - Sat., Feb 5, 2011

 

CHICAGO, Jan. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- An Original Freedom Writer, Manuel V. Scott, whose story is told in the Hollywood movie, Freedom Writers, starring two-time Academy Award® winner Hillary Swank, is calling everyone in Illinois who is sick and tired of losing our youth to drugs, alcohol, gangs and despair to join him on Saturday, February 5, 2011, from 8:30A.M. to 12:00 P.M. at Embassy Suites Hotel O'Hare, 5500 North River Road, Rosemont, IL.

In this half-day seminar, Manuel Scott will describe the kind of leadership that helps youth go from being poor, despondent, and hopeless to excelling in every area of life.  

"I was once dismissed as 'unreachable' and 'unteachable,' and classified as an 'English as a Second Language' student," says Scott.  At the age of fourteen, Scott dropped out of school, and began to fulfill the awful prediction that he would be either dead or in jail by the age of eighteen.  

"But something special happened, and now I am sharing that message, and the proven techniques that change lives, with the people of Illinois."  

Scott is now a successful entrepreneur and PhD student, and he is on a mission to save our youth.  "Derrion Albert's death was avoidable.  It's time for change!"

A discounted registration fee of $99.95 per person is currently available.  Group discounts are also available.
