Efren Peñaflorinda Jr. shows that nothing can hinder education even poverty, binuo niya ang Dynamic Teen Company in 1997 where he was only 17 kasama ang mga classmate under the supervision of Club 8586. Nakita ni Efren ang hirap kung paano magkaroon ng maayos na edukasyon dahil na rin sa kahirapan, he became viajero of fish crackers from Baclaran to Cavite and sell it in their school for his family at para na rin masustentuhan ang kanyang pag aaral, he discover that despite of their financial problem it is not an excuse to afford proper education.

After niyang makatapos sa pag aaral sa course na Associate in Computer Technology in San Sebastian College - Recoletos in 2000, tinapos naman niya noong 2006 ang kursong Secondary Education sa Cavite State University where he can use his learning as a teacher in pursuing his dreams for Dynamic Teen Company.
