SALT LAKE CITY - ncarol.com -- Get a LEG Up: The Learn-Earn-Give Toolset for Teenage Purpose and Optimism by Manny W. Padro empowers young people with the chance to find their purpose and look toward the future with hope and confidence.

Each day, millions of students feel lost and hopeless. They wonder what the future will bring. Padro knows how they feel. He also knows that being successful later in life starts with identifying one's purpose, aptitude, and values today.

Born in Chicago, he spent his first five years on a coffee farm in Puerto Rico. When his family moved to Philadelphia, he had to adapt to a new way of life and learn a new language. Racism brought violence and a poor education experience. He trudged through school, and when he graduated, felt uncertain about his next steps and unprepared for life.
