    Interesting no comment was posted on that great and promising story. I guess it is not an opportunity to bash Roosevelt Skerrit.
    This just strengthen my feeling that Dominicans are super negative and if they cannot politicize something then it does not interest them.
    Congrats son to you and your family and my you continue to prosper

      I always say that DOE. Congratulations to little Jamaal Phillip. Make good use of your scholarship. Put Christ first in all you do. Be positive in all you do rejecting and not listening to the negative bashing around. Be focused and set your goal and standards high. Respect God – Fear him and then you will find it very easy to respect your parents, teachers, peers and others. Choose your friends wisely and always find time to learn about the Creator – the only one who gave life. Be humble at all times and read since this increases your knowledge base most importantly study the word of God in the Bible.
