From the FIRST time I ever HEARD about this school .... it just fills me with joy and pride and I am sooooooooo, soooooooo happy for ALL these young men!!

The first news story I saw on it was when they had FIRST opened up .... and it was all pretty much a big "experiment" .... BUT ... I just KNEW that it would succeed!! That those boys were gonna SHOW the whole world what they - we - are capable of!!

The only "downfall" part about it that made me kinda sad while watching it was that there was ONLY ONE!!! And I remember thinking ..... "Mannnnn .... they should have started a string of these schools in Black neighborhoods all over the country!!

But I KNEW these boys would succeed!! I KNEW that these are the types of kids that would be OUR future .... and .... wish there were more than just a couple hundred of them being produced at a time!!

GREAT JOB!!! This story has made my day!!!

Oh!! And SCREW the mainstream media!!

They don't need to acknowledge our successes .. as long as WE learn how to appreciate them!!
