CoolSpeak decided one way to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month would be by honoring family.
And there is no better way to start it off than by passing the mic to our CEO’s children to honor their father, @carlosojedajr.
Now it is your turn. Let’s fill social media with words of appreciation and Hispanic Heritage pride.

Together, we will continue opening up opportunities for growth, empowerment, and finding belonging.
@joaquinzihuatanejo, @lilyanpradocarrillo, and @nattypoet traveled to @adamsstateuniv to facilitate a day for students and families @campatasu.

#GEARUPworks by helping students explore new possibilities through educational pathways; CoolSpeak helps students by authentically inspiring them to reach forward toward their goals.
Read the lessons @granitegearup students from @graniteschools took away from CoolSpeak CEO, Carlos Ojeda Jr.
❤️ I learned that if I want to be something, then I need to GO and do it. Don’t waste time, don’t let people get into my head and hold me back from what I really am “DON`T FIGHT BACK, FIGHT FORWARD”
🖤 I learned that I can do a lot more than I originally thought. If I try for things and believe in myself, and work for it, I can achieve great things.
❤️ That I need to go and not let anything hold me back. And after I have gone, give back to those who helped me.
Whether you’re showing off the colors of a college you attended, supporting a loved one with their college colors, or just rocking your favorite team… we hope you are celebrating National College Colors Day!
One way to inspire students to achieve their college goals is to create a college-going culture through increasing the visibility of the range of colleges.
Finding the right fit is key to success, not everyone is going to excel in the same way so explore everything from research institutions to community colleges and from small-town colleges to state schools.
