Alief Summer Leadership Conference Keynote - Theatre

Manuel Scott will give the keynote speech. An Original Freedom Writer whose story is told in the Hollywood movie,
Freedom Writers. Manuel's unique message is one that has inspired, educated, and empowered almost a million
people, helping them make the most of their lives.
At the age of fourteen, Manuel dropped out of school, and his English grammar was so poor that he was classified
as an English as a Second Language student (ESL). By the age of 16, he had already lived in 26 different places.
At an early age, he began using drugs and alcohol. He says, "When I look back, I now see that I was heading down
a path that would have destroyed me."
However, due to an amazing transformation, Manuel has defied all the odds stacked against him. "I was once
dismissed as 'unreachable' and 'unteachable,' says Scott, "but something special happened, and I love sharing that
message with others." The high school drop-out now holds degrees from the University of California at Berkeley
and Trinity International University. He is currently working on his PhD in Chicago, IL.
