Jonathan Lee

This kid rules. 13 years old and he's thinking on a level that many never will. I'm going to keep an eye on this kid.

  1. Of course he is amazing...he's from Mississippi. :)

    As you can tell I grew up in Mississippi. I wonder if he has a Southern accent.

    What an accomplishment for such a young person. There was a similar thing that happened when a girl from the U.S. went to visit the Soviet Union. Now I remember (thanks to the Internet), it was an 11 year-old girl from Maine called Samantha Smith. This was back in 1983. Six years later, the Cold War ended and the Berlin Wall fell.

    Here's a story about it:

  2. Here's more information on Samantha Smith via Wikipedia. She really was truly loved by the Soviet/Russian people.

    The people of Russia remember her more fondly than the U.S. does.
