A lot of the people in the video were moved by the clerks actions towards the Muslim woman, and many others were trying to defend her saying that it is wrong to judge people by what they ware. The man that gave the clerk was the worst of them all it is just wrong to defend someone being as racist as that. The man who told the clerk to f-off was the best, because he stood up for the Muslim woman, and then walked away. Many of the costumers also walked out of the story and that was great. The man who began to defend her by bring up his son who just came back from Iraq was to good. I thought he was about to attack the clerk. The two other women that defender her went to tears for what they believed in.

IITS

The IIT is a massive college in India that has seven campuses. One of them is in Bombay. They only accept 2% of they people who take the entrance exam. Most of the people who graduate from IIT leave and go to the US. Only about 150 stay in India and work for companies there. The world needs these students to keep on learning the way they are learning because they are helping the rest of the world. They are not that well rounded because most of them cant choose what they want to study. Only the top 200 can pick which campus they want to go to and what they major in. There is apparently no corruption at IIT so you cant buy your way in all of the students there know they are there because they are smart.

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 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.
