Michael Jordan is widely considered the greatest basketball player of all time. Known as 'Air Jordan,' he could leap so high it looked like he was flying. But Michael didn't start out as the best; he was actually cut from his high school basketball team! Instead of giving up, he practiced harder than ever before. He went on to win six NBA championships. While famous for his basketball skills, Michael also remembered his roots and his global community. He has made massive donations to help build hospitals in Africa and supports organizations that provide medicine and education to African children. He also helped bring professional basketball programs to the African continent. African and Caribbean kids can learn from Michael that failure is just a stepping stone to success. If you practice relentlessly and never give up, you can fly high. And when you do, always remember to extend your hand to help others soar too.
