Okay the first thing I noticed about his life. Is that he lived in Baltimore, judging from what I learned in the video and this article is that somewhere between his trip to the military academy and his graduation from there he had a dramatic epiphany about his life and wishes too aim his vision to everyone else. In all the first is that as kind as he is now, what made him change his perspective of the world. The second thing that fascinates me is his motive to change others as he did himself.

What i found fascinating was that Wes Moore was raised alone by his mother but he accomplished so much. Also he was Captain in the United States Army but yet he ended up becoming a writer.
The two most fascinating aspects I've learned was he chose to quit being a victim of his circumstances and became a creator. By doing so, he has became a youth advocate, Army combat veteran, social entrepreneur, and so much more. With that being said, he has became the founder of an organization called STAND! that works with other Baltimore children to understand that despite their early academic and behavioral struggles they face, they too have a choice to remain the victim of their circumstances or to become a creator and make a difference.

for better by going to college and achieving. He is very determinated to find more about the other west moore.
Reading about Wes Moore I found out that he is committed to helping people who are guiding our nations youth. Parents, teachers, and mentors for example. Probably because he knows the impact they can have on a troubled student, like he was. He also donates a portion of the earnings from his book to City Year and US Dream Academy. Which are charities that focus on helping off track students to achieve their goals and succeed in life.

The two things I found interesting about Wes Moore is that, despite his background and upbringing, he did not let it define him, as many people do.
