At age 13, a gunshot to the head left him paralyzed on the right side of his body. Today, Gilman Almunus Freddie Almazan (Brazil, 2015) is a youth speaker for motivating troubled teens and young adults. Through the use of his personal story, Freddie teaches young people that they can overcome their challenges and live happy and fulfilling lives through self-development. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “As a youth speaker, I strive to help build students’ confidence and help them understand that change comes from within. No matter how difficult or painful, every challenge we face offers a valuable opportunity to develop our character. Our challenges do not weaken us; our challenges make us stronger.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Learn more about Freddie’s remarkable work at freddiealmazan.com ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @exchangeourworld #GilmanScholarship #ExchangeOurWorld #StudyAbroadOn behalf of @ECAatState, we would like to thank @UCCS for hosting a phenomenal 2019 U.S. Future Leaders Topical Seminar for Gilman and @CLSscholarship Alumni! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Attendees began day one with clear blue skies and a beautiful Mountain View. Attendees were introduced to the concepts of entrepreneurship and innovation with an emphasis on idea generation and creating business plans. @UCCS students shared about their startup ventures and their collaboration space, The Garage. The day ended with entrepreneurs speaking about their experiences at the Catalyst Campus, an accelerator for startups related to the Defense industry. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The attendees started the second day with a visit to an accelerator called Exponential Impact, where they heard from the Director and one of the startup founders. They then learned more about raising capital and the importance of the venture pitch. The day ended with their own group venture pitches, followed by a tour and dinner at the U.S. Olympic Training Center. #GilmanScholarship #ExchangeOurWorld #CLScholarship #ExchangeAlumniBlasting off 🚀✨🌍 Gilman Alumna Alyssa Kaewwilai (Samoa, Spring 2019) spent her summer as an Earthdata GIS Software Engineering Intern at #NASA! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Whoever said the sky is the limit obviously didn’t account for space!
