This story is about inspiring kids to dare to be great. To not be afraid to put in time to reach goals others may deem impossible to reach. I want kids to know that being persistent in what you believe in is ok and will yield you great results. Simultaneously I want kids to be inspired to take a look at the sciences and space. Space is still a vast subject that we have only brushed the surface of and science is always changing. The future is truly a playground for our up and coming scientist.
About the author
Kevin Waring is the author of Streak Through The Sky: The Amazing Stories Of Kam - Vol 1. He is a father of 2 , a devoted husband, and a native Brooklynite. He was also Assistant Director of after school programs for 2 years and created his own non for profit to help kids within his community, all before the age of 30. He has had his fair share of experiences growing up in Brooklyn during the nineties and early 2000's. During that time he was just a regular kid trying to find his way in Brooklyn. Now-a-days he is determine to help kids realize their potential and help them to use the resources around them to build a strong basis for them to stand on as they enter or begin to enter adulthood. Kevin says " Growing up there were opportunities, but not nearly as much as there are today. I have watched 95% of my friends go to jail, die, or just fail at living in the system we call America. Im just trying to tip the scales to more people making it out of their circumstances than people being trapped by them".
