    you know…VanityBonet..I have read some of your comments on other topics and you really say some dumb s**t…I’m a 22 year old black journalist…It’s no quota that I made it…You are what you strive for..This little kid is striving for success at a young age and he is being rewarded for his love of the field. That’s how it’s supposed to be. Parents often times tell kids that if they do well, they shall be rewarded for their behavior. At ten years old, this kid already knows what he wants to do in life and that is nothing less than remarkable. There are many adults out here in this world that still have no idea where to go in live. Good job Mr. Weaver. The majority of us that aren’t ignorant are proud of you.

    I like that he knows that dreams are true,and you know what i heard from a young women today talking to her friends…if i take care so and so daughter she will come back tattoed,with a boyfriend and a piercing,what kind of mind does she have to say this..stupid ignorant and another woman not set with a plan for her future.We have to teach our children that education is the best thing out there,set goals and believe in yourself!

    He’s a hard working young man from my neck of the woods. Im proud to see someone his age doing more with his life than playing video games and watching cartoons. He’s focused and determined and he has a bright future ahead of him.

    It’s about time that someone or some place realized that there are talented young black men and boys. Good job Damon.

    Here’s another reason why we always encourage a child! They are so powerful way before we recognize it…Just think if we can get to them even earlier…..we would be creating more world changers here!I am happy to see little black boys being shown for who they really are.
