What a 10 Year old gringo learned being Beaten Up in Mexico City

How do extreme life stories help shape entrepreneurs and enable us to make seismic career changes? This is the story of how my family moved to Mexico city and my experience being thrust into a Mexican school at 10 years old being the only 'gringo' in the school and with only 3-4 months of Spanish lessons as part of my preparation for school. What happened? What did I learn? How did this crazy experience shape who I am today and help toughen my skin? Sometimes, in order to leap into the unknown and push ourselves to really pursue our passions, we have to step outside of our comfort zone and really stretch ourselves. This is a story of how I survived one of the toughest years of my life and an experience which helped define my ability to withstand adversity. Enjoy!
