A 25-year-old who overcame a troubled childhood to become a Rhodes Scholar is sharing his story of perseverance.
In his new memoir,"A Dream Too Big," Moore said he was fueled to succeed by hunger, but he feasted on hope from two main sources: his faith in God and his mother. “My story isn’t one of my own personal exceptionalism,” said Moore, adding it’s unrealistic to expect, if he had to do it all over, that the result would be the same.
"We will be a positive force in those kids' lives," Moore said."We even got a grant for a couple thousand dollars to give to a teacher so she could purchase uniforms. We just wanted to use our platform in a positive way.""It seemed incredibly unrealistic at times, given the environment that I come from, so it was hard to imagine something like this," he noted.
