i wanna watch it again!!
I watched the whole thing in tears it was truly inspiring...From the 2 sisters Megan and Sade, for the girl who got up @ 4 am to catch the bus to school it was uplifting to see these bright beautiful African children want to achieve...


Then I get to watch on the news here how 2 students ambushed a teacher after school because the teacher took his iPod. The man has 2 broken vertebrae in his neck and is lucky to even be alive. the teacher is still concerned about the students (who are expelled). But why does it even have to go to that level? Why?

That's what I'm talking about. Our (America) priorities and value for education is all out of whack!! I'm happy for them. I think they will do great things for their country and girls who will follow in their footsteps.
