By I hired a young man the other day…for some help in my yard.
He was very polite and well mannered.
I picked him up at his house and we had about a 10 minute ride back to my house.
I asked him –“Where are you going to school? He said he is going to Bellermine…”
And what do you want to be when you are older….He replied he wanted to be a doctor.
I know that he came from simple beginnings and this was a big dream.
I replied…”Wow that is a big dream…how did you ever know that is what you wanted”.
He said “I was lucky enough to join a group at school that helped me realized that I can do anything I want to do…and I can go to a good high school and college”.
I thought those are big dreams…but good ones to have.
I asked “what’s the name of the group”
He replied “Breakthrough of Silicon Valley”.
His name is Ramon Garcia. His father is my gardener and my friend.
I am so proud that this group received one of Intero Foundation grants.
We do good things!!

The 3-inch phone will sell uncloked for a little a lot more than $300 and will include standard Android 1.6 functions and Sony Ericsson’s software enhancements,like an integrated social feed reader and Facebook app. Classed as an entertainment smartphone, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 targets price-conscious users in search of a stylish Android handset that doesn’t necessarily need to run the newest firmware. The custom interface is comparable to that of the Xperia X10 mini, such as customizable corners for one-touch access to your favourite apps.A brief glance at the Xperia X8 shows a compact handset that fits perfectly inside the palm of the hand. Measuring just 99 x 54 x 15 mm and weighing in at 104 grams, it is narrower and lighter than iPhone four. And even though it packs a 3-inch display with capacitive touchscreen, it offers the exact same 320×480 pixel resolution like the 3.5-inch display on the iPhone 3GS.

The initial show of the new series, broadcast on Saturday, featured a kissogram, a naked Physician and a “sexed up” Tardis.Throughout the unique 65-minute episode, The Eleventh Hour, in which Doctor Who had 20 minutes to save Earth from aliens recognized as the Atraxi, his new companion, Amy Pond, was revealed as a kissogram dressed in a skimpy policeman’s outfit, complete with mini-skirt and handcuffs. In one scene, Amy, played by the actress Karen Gillan, told the Dr that her kissogram repertoire also included nuns and nurses’ outfits. Find out more at Sci Fi Fan.

Cathy: This is a great story! Love the fact that this young man (from humble beginnings) and his friends who have compassion, were connected with the Intero Foundation to finance their passion.
Imagine if everyone felt that could do whatever they dream!
