Local Visitor Gets Inspired at Scientology Information Center

CLEARWATER, Fla. - April 25, 2019 - PRLog -- On Tuesday, April 22nd, Nicholas, an aspiring news anchor visited the Scientology Information Center with some "time on his hands" looking for something entertaining to pass the time before heading to his part-time afternoon job. Having visited the Information Center some years back, he had learned some things about Scientology's beliefs, but he hadn't learned about the founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard.

The Information Center has a permanent exhibit with panels and interactive audio/visual displays covering a biographical introduction and vignettes, leaders and officials speaking about L. Ron Hubbard's legacy as a humanitarian and author and interviews with those who knew Mr. Hubbard.

"These individuals were the sailors that served as his crew of the naval ships he captained, they were his next door neighbors, fledgling writers, artists or businessmen he encouraged or those he employed at some of his residences around the world – but most of all, they were his friends," said Ms. Amber Skjelset, the Center's Manager. "Mr. Hubbard helped them to work towards their dreams and to carry on. From positive reinforcement, these people persevered and went on to achieve what they were striving for in life."

Nicholas watched several of the interviews of the everyday people who happened to cross paths with Mr. Hubbard and was amazed by the diversity of people he interacted with from all over the world.

"Wow! This was very interesting and actually very helpful. Everyone L. Ron Hubbard met had a story, and were inspired to pursue their goals," said Nicholas. "They had to work hard, of course – but they were inspired by the man who wrote Dianetics. And while they were never part of Scientology, his encouragement helped them go reach their goals. That taught me to not give up, no matter what obstacles are in the way."

To learn more about L. Ron Hubbard's life and legacy, the Scientology information Center is open daily from 10am-10pm or you can visit www.lronhubbard.tv or www.lronhubbard.org.
