Alternative Curriculum: Essential Skills for Thriving in Society

Welcome friends. I am Anthony, and I am thrilled to offer you this series of videos containing the latest and most practical information on raising your children.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I was born in Morocco, raised in France, and spent much of my life in the United States. Now I live in Colombia, South America.

Sadly, I never got much guidance from my parents when I was a child. Instead, I was raised mainly by housemaids. Being the only child motivated me to learn new skills, like playing tennis and learning new languages. It also gave me the courage to explore my environment and enjoy nature.

But, my life was never a bed of roses. Soon after settling in California, my mother took her own life because she felt uprooted from her natural environment of family and friends in Paris.This devastating loss compelled me to find purpose in my life.

First, I went to college to study math, and then I got out of my comfort zone by joining the Army, which helped me mature and become more independent and pragmatic.

Next, I fell in love with my first wife. She was a good woman, but she had no financial sense, which became a big problem that led me to bankruptcy. However, I learned to recognize the type of woman compatible with MY WAY OF THINKING.

These events made me aware of the harsh reality of life and gave me a clear perception of my sitjuation. I was lucky to find a Colombian woman who was not only compatible with my personality but also was one of the main factors that gave me a positive direction in my life.

These circumstances changed me for the better. The following videos result from my “hard knock” story. So, let me describe each one of them.
