MY PERSONAL TESTIMONY...... Hello my Name is Richard y fui Hecho en Mexico (made in Mexico).I am a 32 year old living NOW in OXNARD. I was born in Phoenix Az raised in Mesa, Az. While growing up dealt with many issues and dealt with Insecurities, Sexual abuse,Homosexuality, Depression, Anxieties, Gangs, Drugs, Violence, Homelessness, Several Suicide attempts and on and on. My life has been a journey and in 2001 I had a Drastic Turnaround. I realized I was created for a purpose and also came to have a Longing to Know God and Believe in Jesus Christ! I have Learned that life is a Journey and that everything happens for a reason. I know what it feels like to have no worth and feel like "I would be better off Dead" or "Does anyone care?" "I just cant do this anymore". I have learned that life is an oppurtunity to serve others and enjoy life. Its not always easy but is anything?? I have learned that Success in life is not measured by titles, ackowledgments or achievements it measured by a willingness to Never Give up. I am an open book...My life struggles are on the table and a testimony of the results of bad choices and also the proof that Obstacles can be overcome and life can be enjoyed!! I am a silly guy when it comes to my personality..I love to dance, laugh and play!!! I also have a passion to Serve, Educate, Empower and influence a Latino Culure to live a Better Life!!! Not desiring to give hand outs but Hands Up!!!! Enabling them to be a Success No matter what the situation!!!!
