Solar

I caught <a href="http://www.wsc.org.au/competition.htm">this story</a> over at <a href="http://j-walkblog.com/blog/index/P16206/">J-Walk Blog</a> and don't get me wrong it is really neat, but it more reminds me of one of my favorite movies. Now you have to remember the movies I like are movies that show how people can overcome adversity in an inspirational way and this movie fits the bill.<br />n<!–more–><br />n<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000639FG/103-6311805-9792658?v=glance">Race The Sun</a> is based on a true story about a bunch of high school kids in Hawaii who are always being told by peers, teachers, and family that they are losers and won't accomplish anything. They build a solar car and end up taking it to the World Solar Challenge in Australia and racing it. Above and beyond the Halle Berry eye candy, it is a very uplifting movie for kids showing that you can succeed if if people tell you that you are incapable. My daughters hate it when I pull it out and we watch it but I am trying to show them they can succeed in whatever they want no matter what the obstacle if they really want to. My kind of movie. Family friendly and inspirational.<br />n<br />n<b>In order to succeed in a profession, a person not only needs to have its good, but also its bad qualities. The former are the spirit, the latter is the body of the job. Franz Grillparzer</b>
