Don’t just tell young people that the sky is the limit , Show Them! What started out as a story of Barrington Irving, a Jamaican American who became the youngest person & the first black pilot to fly solo around the globe hoping to inspire other young poor inner city kids from the streets of Kingston,Jamaica where he was born to the streets of Miami, Florida where he found his calling to literally see the sky as the limit, is now a wonderful inspirational story of the young Black teens in Florida who he took under his wing making their own history by building him a plane to continue to fly with the sun.
“The Jamaican-born aerospace student hopes the trip will be an inspiration to children in poor, urban neighborhoods. “I want to show them they can do more with their lives than resort to violence,” said Irving…Irving grew up in a rough Miami neighborhood just behind the Opa Locka executive airport, where he says 24 children were killed last year alone….” READ MORE
This wonderful each one teach one story has received little to no media attention. If we all truly believe in education, uplifting people and hearing about good news, then how does the national media get it so wrong? It is up to us to take back the news, take back our education system & to take back the goodness of humanity! As the the title of this video about the students who built the solar plane says “show your children”- but also show your educators, show your elders, show your politicians, show your neighbors & show everyone you can that this is the type of Hope We Can Truly Believe In & that when we say Yes We Can -we actually Follow Through & Do It!

Whether they are the 1,400 in our two charter schools or in the local traditional public schools, we make the same guarantee: We will get you through college. Given the desperate need for high-skills workers, this is a promise that America needs to make to all of its students….” READ MORE

As the miner known worldwide now as the new Super Mario said, “I was with God, and I was with the devil, They both fought for me. God won.” Let’s continue to show & to have more of those days where the best in us as human beings triumphs & God wins!
“We have done what the entire world was waiting for,” he told Chilean President Sebastian Pinera immediately after his rescue. “The 70 days that we fought so hard were not in vain. We had strength, we had spirit, we wanted to fight, we wanted to fight for our families, and that was the greatest thing…The president told him: “You are not the same, and the country is not the same after this. You were an inspiration. Go hug your wife and your daughter.” With Urzua by his side, he led the crowd in singing the national anthem…” READ MORE
