Bridging the gap | Alejandro Ruiz | TEDxGreenRockCorrectionalCenter
To begin a journey, you first need to know your current location. Follow along as Alejandro takes you on his journey in prison to bridge the gap between who he was and who he wanted to become. Resident, Green Rock Correctional Center.
Formerly a cargo and transportation specialist in the US Army, Alejandro Ruiz grew up a sociable and curious young man who enjoyed spending time with his friends and family, playing video games, singing and playing piano (even though he never sang or played piano well). While incarcerated, he has completed programs like Matrix Substance Abuse, Thinking for a Change, Serve Safe, Computer Literacy, Printshop and Desktop Publishing, and Distress Tolerance. He is an avid reader who enjoys history, biographies, manga, and science fiction. He also enjoys working out, food, anime, role-playing games, music, and exchanging ideas. He is someone who is always willing to help out the next individual. He is grateful to have a supportive system of loved ones and expresses his gratitude to them for all they’ve done for him. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
