The academic success remained as he was completed his grad program with a 4.0 gpa gifting him honors of being selected Sigma Alpha Pi of the National Society of Leadership and Success. After obtaining his 'Masters of Arts in Teaching' degree, he continued to write and teach the little ones. "I learned so much in a small period of time. It was time to go to another level."
