Kimberly Anyadike: Teen inspiration

This teenager has in her short life achieved more than most people ever will. This is what potential and ability coupled with opportunity can achieve. Makes me sad to think of all the potential lost in our beloved motherland because of irresponsible, selfserving leadership.

Anyways, back to Kimberly:

She departed with a dream and returned home a record-breaker.

Inspired by the Tuskeegee Airmen, 15-year-old Kimberly Anyadike flew a single-engine Cessna cross-country from her hometown of Compton, Calif., to Newport News, Va.

Anyadike is thought to be the youngest African American female pilot to complete the journey, which took 13 days. She arrived home in Los Angeles on Saturday, July 11.
