    This is great to see and should be a inspirational story that any young person not just Black can benefit from. Talk about keeping youself busy. Tri athelete in the ROTC with a gpa higher then people who do not participate in any sports. He sould also add no excuses to that list of things he live by.
    I think your alma mater will fill bilge to have Mr. Hall ,but how can you turn down Harvard?

    Great! Interesting article in the NY Times about Ivy League school admissions.

    Also feeling pressure from colleagues that my 13 month old twins need to be gearing for a top notch preschool!

    Fredric, I didn't know you were a Wash U grad. My mother got her music masters from there years ago long before they closed the music department.

    I'm proud of my young homeboy writing his own ticket to campuses of his choice. Let's hear it for us St. Louis public school grads! Nah, that's just good parenting from his mother.

    Wow I'm a recent college grad and Mr. Hall is still an inspiration. His family is a blessing and his determination is very rare. Good luck Mr. Hall!
