Pedro LaTorre

Pedro LaTorre was born in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Before the age of 6 he discovered that his greatest passion in life was to make others smile! However, he had many reasons not too. His parents were divorced at the young age of 7 and he didn’t know it then but his childhood would be marked by displacement and fear. Pedro witnessed two divorces before middle school and went to over
seventeen schools before college.

​

Pedro became the “Man of The House,” far too young. His nights were spent paralyzed in fear under his blankets because he felt unsafe and unsure of who would protect him. Greatness was the furthest thing from his mind. He struggled greatly with the labels that were put on him due to his poor academic performance. Pedro found peace and hope in the game of baseball and he happened to be pretty good at it, garnering the attention of several professional baseball teams in high school. He had a promising career as a pro-ball player ahead of him but with just one swing of the bat his dreams came to an abrupt stop. Pedro has taken all of life's curveballs and used them for good. His story is unique. His passion is unmatched. His love for students is changing the world.

In the back of his mind, he always wanted to be an author, but when his life was put on hold do to mononucleosis, he thought, "Why wait to do something great and pursue my dreams?"
