I am a taxpayer who was turned into a mentor after hearing about Bill Gates' speech to Governors Feb 2005, then after hearing the guy who inspired part of Gates' speech: Dennis Littky. Someday statues will be erected to honor Littky. Find out more by going to npr.org and search "Littky school" and see what comes up. interview in April 2005 . I visited his school in Providence and I made a documentary. I am very inspired by Littky's work and I hope someone in this audience will persuade a school board in hire Littky to redo their district. Please contact me if you want to become a member of the Breakfast Club With Mentors. Everyone can be a mentor. You can find some videos that I posted at http://www.Youtube.com/breakfastclubmentors
