What are WE Gonna DO

We’re young, energetic and we flat out know more than any generation has ever known in the history of time। We can tell you how to design a website, while doing our algebra homework, showing mom how to set up her email and helping dad with his new gizmo.
Wow! We are with out a doubt the most developed generation but why don’t we get the RESPECT! GGRRRR!
As of today we have produced the youngest billionaire to date, while moving forward with innovative, creative, and ingenious products. So what is the big DEAL?
What we want out of our own generation.
1. Have fun.
2. Make an impression.
3. Love life.
This ideology has not fallen far from the tree. In fact in the same stream line manner that is how our parents shunned their parent’s.
Rebellion, this is what led to the great housing development that we now see in America. It also led to largest job increase in history. No longer would “kids” have to listen to their parents.
There is nothing better than the feelings of independence, but at what cost?
In our country we have come to the crossroads. These two roads intersect where teamwork and independence run head long into one another. No longer is it “OK” to be selfish and self righteous. Our country now more than ever needs a conjoining effort for development.
It is now that we as “children” have a voice. At the click of a button we combine forces. We now have the capability to step up and manifest this talent.
We are not just in the information age, we are the information age. Through us, only by us, will the country soar to development.
Without our contribution the hands of this community function at a much slower pace.
Taking this country and turning it around is a snap for us.
Let us take charge and develop the teamwork for a greater force.
You have the capability at your finger tips. Let’s harness the passion and put something in the history books.

It takes a special kind of person to go into motivational speaking. For one thing, you have to be motivated, and that's a perfect descriptor for Timothy Lucero. Lucero, a 2003 graduate of Ruidoso High School, knows something about motivation, having been a member of the 2002 State Champion RHS football team, a highly competitive member of the Warrior wrestling team, and competing in football at the college level at New Mexico State University. But while Lucero had reached the pinnacle athletically, he realized there was something more than just physical attributes needed to achieve success. "I haven't pursued coaching or the physical realm, because that's only one aspect," Lucero said. "The mental aspect is just as important. I talk about the development of athletes' minds, because they're already physical specimens. "I talk about the discipline and integrity it takes to be successful." Lucero recently moved to Las Vegas, Nev., which is a mecca for business conventions - his bread and butter. While he makes most of his living speaking to businesses and organizations, he reserves a lot of time to bring the youth of the Southwest his inspirational message. "I feel a responsibility toward youth and speak for their programs as well," Lucero said. "I always want my generation to be well-represented." Lucero, 24, tells people how to live a life based on seven "pillars": Integrity, discipline, courage, passion, wisdom, perseverance and simplicity.
"Life is a roller coaster, and there are going to be ups and downs," Lucero said. "I try to make the low points as high as possible, to make things even."
While he hopes to benefit those who listen to him speak, Lucero said the decision to become a speaker full-time has been very good to him. "It's been very rewarding, and I've had so much fun with it," Lucero said. "I'm not trying to change the world, I'm just sharing my beliefs and showing that people can change their lives." www.timothylucero.com
