The power of education is amazing. I...Hello Jaime,<br />The power of education is amazing. I recall in my teenage years (not that far back) playing football against another team that didn't have matching helmets and may have been sharing their equipment. I thought in the middle of the game, we were winning by a lot, how can a team like this compete? Then I thought, how can a kid from this school academically compete? Then, like you, I thought of "leveling the playing field". What will it take to have true equity in education? Thus your words resonate with me and the passion that I have for education. I am also impressed with your affection for hip hop and R&B. So often kids miss the connection to the movement of power that they possess through education. How remarkable would it be if urban society rebuilt itself on the premiss of the power of education? What if that was the next social wave and movement? What if hip hop, valley DJs and radio personalities all promoted the power behind education? What a wonderful thought. I wonder how many kids know that many of their rap icons actually attended college for a few years and a few completed with degrees? Continue the passion and thanks for the words. George J.
