Description
"Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe." ~ Gail Devers.This shot was taken in the streets of the northeast part of Brazil, in the state of Bahia. The bus seen on the photo is a bus of a local circus in tour.
Education is really poor in some places of the country. As I was taking photos around, this little boy happened to calmly get out of the bus, had a sit there and started to read a book. His efforts to study are surely an example to us all, in a country in which only a few have access to a good education and even worse, a few actually wants to have it.

What can I say? -- you've gotten a moment that'll be stamped into my brain for a while. Godspeed to that kid, in terms of the mind.

Essa Γ© uma foto muito bonita... inspiradora, na verdade. Principalmente pela histΓ³ria que ela conta.
Sendo brasileira e baiana, eu entendo perfeitamente o que vocΓͺ quis dizer no comentΓ‘rio. Uma cena como essa Γ© muito rara. Γ quase deprimente ver meus colegas, por exemplo, que tΓͺm acesso Γ educaΓ§Γ£o, sem a mΓnima vontade de estudar e aprender. Tanto aqui quanto em qualquer lugar do Brasil existem tantas favelas, tanta gente pobre que queria ter essa chance...
Desculpa pelo desabafo, mas Γ© isso que eu tenho vontade de dizer quando vejo imagens do verdadeiro paΓs. Chega de sΓ³ carnaval!

Γ, tudo isso Γ© verdade e infelizmente faz parte da realidade do Brasil... Somos paΓs de terceiro mundo muito devido a isso tambΓ©m...
