Cadets at the Youth Challenge Program¡¯s Fort Gordon campus got a unique and motivational look at the Korean culture, and a chance to hear inspirational words from several American success stories in January. The event was part of an ongoing series of ¡°Good Neighboring Days¡± created by Sunny Park, an Atlanta businessman and YCA supporter. Guest speaker for the day was Lt. Gen Russel Honore, commander of First U.S. Army, who told the young audience of his humble beginnings growing up in Louisiana, and of the choices he¡¯s made to be a success in the military and in life. ¡°My first goal is to give these youngsters a taste of a culture and a way of life that many of them may not get to experience," said Park, a South Korean born, self made millionaire. Park has taken his Good Neighboring Day to both YCA campuses in Georgia and several other states. ¡°My other purpose is to encourage them and show them how to achieve success in their lives through hard work and planning,¡± he added. ¡°I want to show them that the road to success is open to them, but that they must work for it and that the ¡®easy¡¯ way to the top is not the best way.¡± For more
