Raul Cuero

One of the biggest problems of society today is that people are to caught up on the thoughts and opinions of others. People care so much about how others feel about their actions that they let their own actions echo the feelings of others to please them. People look ignore how they truly feel and want for themselves and this is what causes problems. We choose to be not happy instead of following the things in life that make you happy. You must love yourself before you can love another. Raul is a perfect example of someone who was not bothered by the negative thoughts of others but instead of the positive thoughts of his own. He was always able to make the best out of the situations he was put in like the days when he was a kid growing up poor in Latin America, he would amuse himself by playing with cockroaches. 

He was able to dive in and pull new and unique knowledge out of him that helped make him unique and let him stand above his competition. He goes on to say that the American education has a good foundation but we don't look at schooling the right way. Unlike other countries, we view education as an assignment, a duty, we do not look at it like the opportunity it truly is. The chance to set yourself apart and better yourself should be a reason you get yourself out of bed in the morning.
