Colin Gilmartin - Greatness University

The passion to make a difference has been building for 18 years but it wasnt until all of my senses were "fired up" that I became one with purpose. I have been making a difference for while but never really seeing my "Acres of Diamonds" as Russell Conwell so eloquently said. Mixing my dream of inspiring a child with Napoleon Hills "Law of Success" and you have what one of my 7 year old students said, "Its like having gummy worms for dinner!" Ashley Perrin would say "What is great & grand and impossibly bold but the Human Spirit? To inspire it in yourself and others – is greatness." I say welcome to the University of Greatness! I almost didnt make it out of my early 20s due to drugs/alcohol and being a menace to society. After ending a long-term drug rehab called Straight, Inc I started to see the light - and it wasnt blue and flashing. I finished 16 months there and my judge said that I should pay my debt to society so I entered Shock Incarceration, a 4 month boot camp situated inside the state prison of NH. This is where I got my first understanding of Napoleon Hill. The 4 month course coincided with the 16 lessons of Dr. Hills philosophy of individual achievement. After completing the program, I started back at the only college I ever wanted to be a part of, Saint Anselm College. I completed my undergrad degree in Criminal Justice and went on to coach for a living. I would spend the next block of time gathering and classifying information and overcoming the obstacles of life. 2012/2013 would be big years.
