Rony Morel shows us first-hand what it's like to grow up in the mean streets of New York City where violence, corruption, alcohol/drugs, partying and women more than often prevail. He moved to (Highbridge) Bronx, NY, where he was raised alongside serval future stars (Cardi B, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, Westside Parle, Desi Rodriguez and Hennessy Carolina). In pursuit of his own success, he left to attend an out-of-state college leaving behind all his drastic encounters which consisted of so many violent fights, police authority, life-threatening events, romantic panthers and vacations (in and out of the country). However, college only served him as a 'hope' for a better future. Due to his contagious lifestyle, it managed to follow him hundreds of miles where even in foreign territory he was still fighting, partying wild and running into trouble with the law! This swirling life of constant fun and danger caused Rony Morel to reach rock-bottom several times but what led him to finally change his reality was brewed one night on a neighbouring dorm mate's small hard couch where Rony trespassed daily as he hid from the law. Rony shares all his knowledge, wisdom and advice on how he miraculously changed his life around completely and has become rather successful in his entrepreneurship. He's currently the president of three companies (Morel Fashion, Shop Morel and IMS - Internal Marketing Solution) and he's striving in the actor and model side of the entertainment industry. Through his book, Each One Teach One, he reveals it all from bad to worse to good but more importantly he shares compelling knowledge and insists that it could change one's perspective on life while also helping individuals achieve success/self-worth!
Each One, Teach One By: Dr. Annette L. Chambers-Dwyer In Each One, Teach One, Dr. Annette L.

Brief but uplifting, this book aims to educate individuals concerning the numerous tasks that teachers perform daily despite small wages, and it illustrates the need to raise the salary for hard-working educators like Dr. Dwyer.
This is the sum of my three-book series, Thoughts from Your Neighborhood N-Word. These books speak out directly to you, girls and boys. You, the Native and natural American or street cats, cowboy Jacks; you, the political, corporate suit-and-ties, the Mob guy; you, the cowardly tigers, rats, and sneaks; and especially you, the mothers and fathers. These books are game-infested with points and views of the world from a young NIGGAs (Never Ignorant Getting Goals Accomplished) perspective, full of random but organized thoughts, hoping to help you better understand things you dont understand. Yeah, from that N-Word, not from those associated with todays (2017) generation N-words but those that the great late Tupac Shakur mentioned in 2Pacalypse Now, Words Of Wisdom. Or occultism perhaps! (Some statements in this book are not facts but thoughts from your neighborhood N-word)

Frank Charles Laubach was an Evangelical Christian missionary and mystic known as "The Apostle to the Illiterates." In 1935, while working at a remote location in the Philippines, he developed the "Each One Teach One" literacy program. It has been used to teach about 60 million people to read in their own language.] He was deeply concerned about poverty, injustice and illiteracy, and considered them barriers to peace in the world. In 1955, he founded Laubach Literacy, which helped introduce about 150,000 Americans to reading each year and had grown to embrace 34 developing countries. An estimated 2.7 million people worldwide were learning to read through Laubach-affiliated programs. In 2002, this group merged with Literacy Volunteers of America, Inc. to form ProLiteracy Worldwide.

From the authors who created the One Word movement, impacting schools, businesses, and sports teams around the world, comes a charming fable that can be read and shared by everyone. If you could choose only one word to help you have your best year ever, what would it be? Love? Fun? Believe? Brave? It’s probably different for everyone. How you find your word is just as important as the word itself. And once you know your word, what do you do with it? In One Word for Kids, bestselling author Jon Gordon—along with coauthors Dan Britton and Jimmy Page—asks these questions to children and adults of all ages, teaching an important life lesson in the process. This engaging, fully illustrated fable follows Stevie, a young boy falling asleep on the first day of school. His teacher gives the class an assignment: to find the one word that will help them have their best year ever. To discover their one word, they must look inside themselves, look up, and look out. At home, Stevie is upset because he can’t find his word. After his dad offers some helpful advice, Stevie excitedly begins the quest for his word. His search helps him discover a lot about himself, what he loves, and what is important to him. An easy read with a powerful message, One Word for Kids appeals to readers of all ages and is an ideal entry point into discussing a valuable lesson in a fun and engaging way.
