Charles Motivational Speaker from Ventura, CA

Attended college in Tacoma, wa took speaking classes, and acting classes. I was orphaned at age 11, mom died on Xmas day, 72, dad a week after my 11th b-day. I go out and help others who have lost parents or loved ones, esp children. At such a young age, its hard to cope with, it changes you in dramatic ways. Many of our youth have problems but the worst is loss of one or both parents. At any age is hard but as a child it is hell. I like to go to schools, esp HS, they have the most troubled teens. I served in the US Army a year, was discharged after injuring a leg. In there, I found many people of similar backgrounds, orphans esp.
