Quentarius Wade is a native of Greenville, Mississippi. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Oral Roberts University and a Master's degree in School Psychology from Howard University, where he also is currenlty pursuing a Phd. The former Christian School Educator has a vision for youth that transcends the content of any history book. In his eyes, children are more than 'The future," just saying 'No" is of non effect, and 'Be all you can be," is an understatement.
His personal desire to educate high school students about the importance of financial excellence during college, stems from his own bout with debt and poor money management.
Quentarius accumulated over $6,000 of credit card debt while attending college, and after only three semesters, dropped out because he had no way of supporting himself financially and attend school. He returned home and worked for a local hotel, making 6.50/hr.
With virtually no money, no transportation, and estrangement from family, Quentarius convinced management to allow him to live on property as an on-call maintenance worker.
Once his first goal of attaining a college education had been accomplished, he immediately set his sight on the second; eliminating his credit card debt. In 2003, he accepted a teaching position in the nation's capital, accomplishing his goal in one year.
