    Cab Driver or Harvard Grad-----It's All American

    By wjoreilly  |  Posted January 31, 2012  |  Alexandria, Virginia
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     wjoreilly shares his uniquely American story. What makes you "America?" Upload a video here.
    - dsashin, CNN iReport producer

    I am America. I'm W J O'Reilly.

     

     

     

    I was raised in Foxboro, Ma by parents who believed that education was the most powerful thing you could give your kids, so I went to Roxbury Latin, Trinity, Harvard and NYU but became a yellow cab driver in New York for seven years before going on to found several schools, teach over 200 college classes and contribute to the social media like iReport. Now I'm looking for my next great opportunity to make the American Dream as accessible as possible for people in this country and the world.

     

    I am America.
