Latino Activist... Born an ORIGINAL, Refuse to die a Copy!

The purpose of this blog is to connect others to resources and share issues of importance for Hispanic-Latinos. I decided that it would be a better service to consolidate this material in one location. The idea of starting this blog came from a friend, Mr. Sanchez. I hope this information can be beneficial to at least one person. I will sometimes include my own beliefs, experiences, feelings, etc on the subjects of this blog. Enjoy! ~David J. Ruiz

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Gainesville, Florida, United States

My name is David and I am 26 years old. I am from the small city of Pahokee, Florida. I think it is important to know the issues of your local community & have a hand in creating positive change. I'm the oldest of 4 sons by Juan & Desiree. I am the first in my family to attend college. Currently, I am a student at the UF majoring in Political Science with a concentration in Public Affairs. Ultimately I plan to go into public service as an elected official. I hope to return to Pahokee and run for mayor. Advocating HIV/AIDS awareness is a passion of mine. I received my HIV/AIDS Peer Education certification through the Farmworkers Coordinating Council. Through the experience, I was able to learn valuable skills in leadership, public service, public speaking, and health awareness. In July 2004, I was selected to be a member of the Florida Department of Health's Latino Leaders Advisory Committee on HIV/AIDS. I'm a proponent of servant-based leadership. My participation as a leader is important to me because I feel that character is developed through leadership and we all have the ability to give back. With passion, preparation, and perseverance, David
