        The problem with these snippets is that I want more...I want his whole story. I want to see him succeed. We need good news these days. This young man is good news.

        The other students weren’t necessarily ‘naturally talented’ they had the privilege of learning how to study and use calendars.

        I also had a teacher in high school whose words encouraged me a great deal. God bless Major Bowen, we need more teachers like him globally.

        Kind words will always remain a model to propell one to achieving greater feat. No one is a failure, some people struggle daily with varying degree of challenges, a little encouragement will go a long way. I was once like this and end up graduating Uni as one of the best in class
