I enjoyed and was somewhat inspired by Raul Cuero's story. His family was too poor to even afford books but he still excelled in school and was given a chance to enter higher learning with a basketball scholarship. He still faced adversity and was told by his basketball coach that his best attribute was his ability to play basketball, even though he was very smart his intellect was not recognized. This lead him to take a scholarship to an American school where he could delve deeper into enhancing his mind. I liked that he pushed his students to fix their own work if they messed something up and that he taught them that they are capable of anything as long as they try their hardest.
I liked how he described how creativity is doing the unknown instead of doing what is known like most others do. However I disagree with his statement that computers, and new technology doesn't play a part in creativity, I believe that technology plays just as large of a role in creativity as well as nature, because there is infinite unknown in technology and if there is infinite unknown in technology then there is an unlimited amount of creativity that can be tied to technology.
Overall I think Raul Cuero is an amazing man that sets an example that if you put your mind to succeeding in something then you can do it, you just need to put all the effort you can into it.
