  • When I watched the movie, The First Grader, I cried ! It was so touching. Every time I think of him I cry. Thank God he went to Heaven. I know he did. That was his dream. Some people in America take advantage of the opportunity they have, free education and most don't get that. you should be always lucky for what you have. I really wish i knew about him so i could of met him.

  • @allanfr1961 no matter what age,race,color,religion WE ARE STILL THE CHILDREN OF GOD. i dont know if you believe in GOD. but as HIS children we are all free to dream for a better future. you dont know this old man enough for you to judge him. can't you see he is being smart in his own way by inspiring those stupid people who are taking for granted their opportunity to study.

    i hope u did not take for granted your little education when you were in your primary.~4 dis old MAN.GOD BLESS U MORE!

  • @mmsm0822
