Met initially with failure when an early venture fell flat, Patrick chose to learn from the disappointment rather than abandon his God-given purpose. Even through hardships such as financial setbacks and soul-stretching leaps of faith, he never stopped piecing together the blueprint for the best real-world curriculum a school like his had to offer—one in which spiritual conviction and practical life skills intertwine.
