Join Maria Johnson author of 'The Root' on Tues, 9-17-2013 - Sep 18,2013

Join Maria Johnson as she talks about her new book 'The Root' Volume 1: Rejection on Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 9:00 pm Maria writes ,there are so many barriers to people fulfilling their purpose in life. One of the major barriers is rejection. Rejection is a universal concept that affects everyone's life at one time or another. Children and adolescents reject each other based on appearance and social status. Students all over the world receive rejection letters from the universities of their choice. Many people never set out to pursue their dreams because they don't want to be rejected if they're unsuccessful in their endeavors. Oftentimes, individuals will find themselves compromising their beliefs and moral values to gain the approval of people. Let's not forget about those individuals who settle for less in relationships and careers to avoid rejection. Consider the number of parents who struggle with the root of rejection within themselves, only to pass it on to their children in one form or another. Maria C. Johnson is a public schoolteacher, former youth counselor, and speaker who has worked with children and families for over 15 years. Her educational background consists of two M.A.s (Teaching, and Child Development), and a B.A. in Psychology with a teaching credential in Special Education. She recently released her first book entitled The Root Volume 1: Rejection as a resource to help people cope with the universal experience of rejection. Maria's desire is for everyone to be able to fulfill their God-given purpose on Earth without any constraints hindering them. She currently resides in Los Angeles County with her 16-year-old daughter Ariel.
