Good on the kid for going to school instead of selling crack and robbing his neighbors...
...but that "moved into free housing" followed by the "nothing is free" quote is still a pretty damn definable snapshot at the current state of what our culture does/does not see as "free". Not to mention the free/not free angle completely overshadowed the "work hard everyday and it will pay off in the long run" angle.

...also, the idea that a kid is being praised as a hero for going to school is a pretty good snapshot of our nations expectations of our youth.


But yes, I concur: Santiago Munoz is well on his way to being a productive adult and should be used as an example for his peers to follow.
