A 25-year-old who overcame a troubled childhood to become a Rhodes Scholar is sharing his story of perseverance.
In his new memoir,"A Dream Too Big," Moore said he was fueled to succeed by hunger, but he feasted on hope from two main sources: his faith in God and his mother. “My story isn’t one of my own personal exceptionalism,” said Moore, adding it’s unrealistic to expect, if he had to do it all over, that the result would be the same.
"We will be a positive force in those kids' lives," Moore said."We even got a grant for a couple thousand dollars to give to a teacher so she could purchase uniforms. We just wanted to use our platform in a positive way.""It seemed incredibly unrealistic at times, given the environment that I come from, so it was hard to imagine something like this," he noted.
This is such an uplifting story. It sounds like Moore had a mother that in spite of hardship, raised him to be a thoughtful caring person with a positive attitude. She deserves a lot of credit for this. Also, I thank him & his teammates for S.P.A.R.K. to help others.
Good job young man! You made it through determination and hard work! God bless go all the way!
Great story.
God be with you
