 Jean
Ricardy Georges was born and raised in Port-au-Prince,
Haiti. Georges was raised with his brother Nicholson P.
Georges, who studied business in the U.S. and Richnardy
Quetant who started medicine school in Haiti and went
off to Cuba to finish his medicine education. Their
lovely and strict sisters Kettlyse Compere, Marie-Andree
Moise, and god-mother Adrienne Ciceron raised them,
because his beloved mother and father were living in the
United States due to major political problems his family
and others in Haiti were enduring. With the strong
formal education he has received in Haiti as a youth, he
was taught not to be stopped by any unnatural barrier
nor be intimidated by anybody or anything, no matter
where life may bring him. Moving to the United States, at age seventeenth, to reunite with his
extraordinary mother Gracieuse Romain, father, Jacques
Fritz Georges, and little brother Joshua Georges. He
certainly became more thirsty and ambitious for more
education and knowledge, he was enrolled at Hope High
School in Providence, RI to continue and finish his
secondary education.
While he was attended at various
universities and colleges such as Rhode Island College,
Community College of Rhode Island, University of Rhode
Island, and Roger Williams University to obtain his
higher education, Georges has worked at a retail store
full-time, plus, interned at Rhode Island Family Court
as a court appointed special child advocate. He was
responsible for gathering information, and coordinating
as many elements as possible, in order to secure for
each child a safe, permanent home as quickly as
possible. He visited children regularly, reviewed
records, and cases. Many times he had to interview
parents and relatives, consult with teachers, neighbors
and foster care providers, and work closely with
community service providers. He was advocated for the
children and families to gain access to needed support
and services from justice system. He appeared in court
sometimes to advocate on behalf of the child’s needs and
best interests. Then, he moved on to Key Program as a
Caseworker for youths to help unprivileged, abused and
neglected youths to unlock their potential.
He is deeply
interested in the economic, art, social, political,
foreign policy, and intellectual history of education
reforms in the United States and the rest of the world
so the future generations can see and live in a better
world. He has developed a great interest to doing great
research and studying philosophy of classical and
practical education with a great critical and
comprehensive mind since he was in Haiti, because he
always has great passion and enthusiasm to be well
informed, so he can well-enlighten the public for the
general welfare. He was determined to become a
well-educated and savant mostly by self-taught while he
was working on his undergraduate and taken some
graduates courses, because he sees that education, which
is the people greatest asset and tool to better
themselves and humanity was way too expensive to obtain
in the U.S. And, gallant leaders such as Jean Jacques
Dessalines, Frederick Douglass, Malcolm X, Abraham
Lincoln, Tupac Shakur, Toussaint L’Ouverture, and Henry
Christophe became master in their field solely by
self-taught and instructed. |
