Jake

This kid has an amazing ability to think about he world of math, physics, and science. At the age of two he was diagnosed with autism and began to lack social skills but when he started to learn everything beyond his level he began to socialize again. He started to prove him self that he could take collage courses at the age of eight, he taught him self all high school math in two weeks. He can study with collage students and regularly scores the best in his class. His autism barely restricts his ability to learn and interact with others. He has a remarkable ability to remember everything he has heard or seen. It is this ability that makes he the smart kid he is today.

Cody Rye was in a car accident in which he broke his back and became paralyzed from the wast down. He had a dream to play football and with the help of his father he worked out in high school and was on the practice squad but never started a game. After physical conditioning he regained the movement of his legs and was then paralyzed from his ankles to his feet. During his junior year he was bumped up to varsity. At their last game Cody was starting against their rivals, his team was going for a two point conversion. His quarterback threw the ball just over his head and he missed. The last play of the game with three second left Cody was thrown the ball and he caught it, it wasn't a first down or a touchdown just a pass that he made that full filled his dream of playing football. 

APPS

These live changing apps help some children with their conditions so they can communicate with other people. This will help the study of autism move forward. New studies on brain scans of people with autism show that the wires connecting the brain with the parts of speech are all disorganized and scrambled together. With the ipad children are responding to teaching better than they were before. There are many different types of apps that deal with other types of learning. More and more apps will probably be available in the next year of two with the studies of autism finding new things each day.  

Ray Rice

Ray Rice had a hard childhood like most rising stars their story's are mostly alike growing up alone being misunderstood and not given a chance to play football, but his story is different the teachers at his middle school supported him because of the death of his dad and his cousin left him heart broken and his mom was forced to work multiple jobs a day they were just getting by. He led his high school team to the state champ. more than once and was named all state during high school. After that he accepted a four year scholar ship to Rutgers. He set the most rushing yards in school history and touchdowns in single session. He was taken by the Ravens as the 43rd overall pick in the 2008 NFL draft. In his first three years he had more than 5000 all purpose yards. He became very close to his mentor Ray Lewis, they formed a bond like brothers. There's big Ray and little Ray. They shared stories of their hardships an what is was like growing up. Ray rice became who he is today because he had support and only one bad choice could lead to lore and more and that's not what you want.

He let no one down he tried to prove everyone that said he could not be a running back in the NFL wrong. He worked hard to try and be the best that he could and he fought through everything that all the critics could throw at him and blocked it from interfering with his dream of playing in the NFL. When everyone told him he couldn't he used that as motivation. As a child some of his coaches and teachers said he would not make it,  he felt like he was misunderstood and not given a full chance. Injures had to happen to other team mates in order for his chance to shine. 

Cure for HIV

The way this works is by manipulating the white blood cells of someone who is immune to HIV and getting it so they person who will receive the transplant body will accept the white blood cells and fight off the HIV virus. This is a remarkable thing that their is a person out their that has been cured of both HIV and leukemia through stem cell transplant. All of stem cell research is still in its infancy and now where this guy lives there is stem cell research going on and people are trying to find the best way to give the treatment for everyone. 

Stem cells

With stem cells nothing is in the bag, we are in the beginning of stem cells research. The people in the world that are passing off as medical doctors and trying illegal stem cell transplants and  proscribing the stem cells to try and treat incurable diseases with today's technology. Its fraud and its not right when you tell someone their is a 80% chance that all of the persons ability's will be enhanced and then little to no viewable effect that the stem cells are doing anything. That is really destroying  their last flicker of hope.

The people make their point that they do not like gays or lesbians in their society. On the streets people have no thought about Corrective rape is the right thing to do. "A women is a women and a man is a man", says a man on the streets in a small town South Africa. Only a few of the many women that have been "Corrective raped" have actually been helped out by the government or private outside agency.

SAT

He found that he had a talent and started a business and charged his clients for his service. There are many holes that you can slip through to cheat on the SAT. If the security of the test is comprised then it has to change now to stop this from happening. The kids that cheated and got this guy to take the teat for them are now being punished and will always be looming around the corner. When you are caught cheating on the SAT the penalty for doing so is life stopping and changes people forever.   

Soap

 This is a sad story that she was ill and was unable to get help. They still feel sad, but they all  keep her in their hearts to remember what she loved the most, soap box races. Her brother keeps racing and goes on to win the championship in honer of his sister.

The years news

The two videos were about all of the major news that happened all around the world in 2011. Everything was important but the most important news that a American could here after 9/11 was that Bin laden is dead. Most were devastating to others and sometimes people were at fault and sometimes they weren't, some were natural like the Tsunami that happened in Japan. There were lots of protest in the US and other places like Libya.
