Every once in a while though you run across a youngster that has real promise. Several months ago, I was shopping at a local store and a paper airplane sailed past my face. Picking it up, I noticed that it had to be one of the finest paper airplanes I had ever seen.

Looking around for the owner, I saw a gentleman and his two kids with him, a boy and a girl and they were all looking at me, I guess wondering if I was upset.

I went up to the young man and asked him if it was his. He said "no, its my sister's". I asked if she made it. She responded in the affirmative. I asked how she knew how to fold one like this. She said "I just started folding until I came up with one that worked".

This young lady I found out -after talking to her father- loves science and math. We spoke for a few minutes and I suggested that he does whatever he can to encourage her interests and get her ready for College. She is already a straight A student and I suggested that there may be opportunities for a scholarship.

So, while there's a lot of kids nowadays that are more interested in X-Box (or whatever else there is), there are those rare exceptions that will be our future in aerospace and engineering.

Before leaving, I gave the man my card and told him that the company I work for has internships for college students and that when she gets to that point for him to contact me and I would put him in touch with the right folks.

So, keep your eyes open and watch for those who will someday replace us. Well done Rebuilt for taking the time to do what you did.
