“If I can replace kerosene lamps with solar powered
lighting, I can prevent tons of toxins from being
released into the atmosphere. I can save these
villagers money. I can increase their quality of life,
increase their productivity at night. And I could
potentially save lives. All for a small investment of
$10. In today’s economy that’s what, two lattes?”

those. But the disasters, what we put in harm’s way – ourselves, our societies,
our economies – well, that’s on us.”

What Do You See?
“It’s very easy for us to look
at a person in a wheelchair,
with crutches or with any kind
of device, and that’s the fi rst
thing we see. I believe that
those devices, rather than
being something that stops
us from achieving a dream,
they’re actually a potential, a
challenge that allows you to
go anywhere you want to be.”

When Are You Really Dead?
“It would be a logical approach to assume
life and death are, in fact, opposites. But
frankly, under the law, if you make that
assumption, pardon the pun, you would be
dead wrong. The law does not, in fact, treat
life and death as opposites. It treats them
completely independent of each other.”

Can a 12 Year Old Be a Leader?
“I founded and started a nonprofi t organization dedicated
and devoted to teaching leadership skills to Miami-
Dade middle school students. I was passionate about
leadership and I made sure I was doing something with
that passion. Just imagine, now that we are teaching
12 year olds what to do with these skills, what they can
accomplish when they are older.”
