• February 2020
Everyone has the inner tenets of Pride, Courage, and Strength, but we don’t always know how to find confidence and motivation to maximize these foundations. Will Truong, a young man full of passion and energy aims to empower his community as he shares his story of refusing to accept circumstances in life, such as poverty, abuse, and prejudice to earn a college scholarship in athletics, only to find himself lying on a trampoline with a broken neck just days before his high school graduation. Shaken with this near death experience and the possibility of never walking again, Will refused to accept the cards he was dealt and again found himself successfully fighting a battle in life through employing a lifestyle and mindset of Pride, Courage, and Strength while also becoming a beacon of inspiration and positivity for everyone who hears him.
