Disabled Boy Acting Out His Dream Job in Real Life!

January 13, 2014 in "Good Job" Society

Hey where can I sign up for THIS!

 

A nine-year-old boy in Jiangxi diagnosed with a muscle disease that has confined him to a wheelchair since he was six got to see his dream of becoming a police officer come to life during a city-orchestrated simulated kidnapping case where he played cop and took down the bad guys.

According to ECNS.cn:

Arrangements were made for Junyi, who uses a wheelchair, to direct traffic, watch police drills, and to visit the command center, where he was surprised to receive a call about the "kidnapping" case. - www.shanghailist.com

Okay, we need to do this more. I can see all types of incredible potential for this type of opportunity for kids and young people. Building up their courage, self-confidence, and giving them a chance to find a goal for themselves. And of course to see their dream come alive.

Shoot, I would totally do this too! Okay, I'm thinking I want a James Bond like role. You know one who needs to get all sneaky, and covert. Climbing on walls, driving cool cars, taking out the bad guys. And yes, girls. James Bond ALWAYS gets the ladies, I'll have a "made up" reality role like this please.

Paralympic Games Coming to U.S. Television, Finally!

January 07, 2014 in "Good Job" Society, Sports

It’s about time NBC!

In a landmark deal, NBC and the NBC Sports Network have signed an agreement with the International Paralympic Committee for the U.S. media rights to the next two Paralympic Games: 2014 in Sochi and 2016 in Rio. Then, in September of 2016, the Rio Summer Paralympic Games will receive 66 hours from Brazil on television. Compared that to the 5.5 hours of coverage they received in 2012, this is a monumental leap.

Exciting times for the competitors and fans alike!

The Paralympic community lit up upon release of the news. Amanda Everlove, a two-time American Paralympian, referred to the news as “groundbreaking;” and Jessica Long said that the news made her “more excited to train.”  - Read more about the NBC Deal on www.swimswam.com

And a committee representative had this to say:

“We are absolutely cock-a-hoop,” said International Paralympic Committee spokesman Craig Spence, fittingly borrowing a British phrase for being thrilled.  – USA Today.com

Yes exciting times. I’m “cock-a-hoop”! Now there’s a phrase you don’t hear too often, if at all . I should try to use it one day, although it can be taken as a game of basketball using poop (caca-hoop) or a strange reference to an intimacy enhancing toy. Either way I’m excited!
