A gift for all teens: Mr. G. teaches insight and inspiration

Rob Garofalo, Jr. is a positive authority figure for all teens. He is a welcome bright light in a sometimes dark world-a real mentor on personal character, emotional intelligence, and social action.

(PRWEB) February 29, 2004 --Anyone who believes in God, will have little trouble believing that he probably sent Rob Garofalo down here to help us out. Mr. G, as he is known to the students and parents in Berlin, Connecticut, is widely thought as that special type of teacher and role model that comes around once in a lifetime. He possesses a gift -- he imparts golden nuggets of wisdom to teens.    

This is no small endeavor when you consider effective living and personal fulfillment are two things that many people never come to experience.

And now hes working for everyone else who wants to help teens overcome the problems they encounter in life, responsibly addressing the twisted values portrayed in the media and popular culture. His goal is to teach youth how to succeed, first and foremost, as human beings.

His new book, A Winner by Any Standard, is a life manual that hits the nail on the head 52 times over and explains in no uncertain terms how to realize whats right and wrong in the social situations we all face. Even better, and perhaps more important, he tells teens what to do next in a way that makes it easy to deal with their emotions and get on with life in a positive, productive way. Time and time again he reinforces the ideal that they possess the power to shape themselves, their future lives, and the world itself.

A past congressional scholarship recipient and state teacher of the year award winner, the idea for the book came out of his near obsession to help teens make effective living more the rule than the exception. He wants teens to grow up transformed so that they can follow the path to personal happiness and independence and success.

The book covers 52 different personal growth challenges that promote a variety of invaluable life skills and high integrity behaviors, including: valuing mistakes, examining alcohol use, avoiding gossip, being a true friend, dealing with emotions, seeing school in a new light, searching out heroes, stemming the tide of violence, and much, much more.

Rob Garofalo is a positive authority figure for all teens. He is a welcome bright light in a sometimes dark world -- a real mentor on personal character, emotional intelligence, and social action.
