Born in the mountains of Puerto Rico, Antonio Maldonado’s life began as the youngest of 12 children in a world of poverty, yet one also rich in love. His father was dedicated to his work and to reading to young Antonio every night from the pages of The Count of Montecristo, instilling a love of learning in Antonio at the very beginning. 

It was not until seeing a plane for the first time, his father at his side, that Antonio’s dreams began to soar beyond the clouds. From that moment on, a passion was ignited for the sky, leading him on a journey through the ranks of the Air Force, serving in Vietnam, and eventually achieving the rank of Brigadier General. 

The Sky Is Not the Limit is an inspirational story of one man’s journey from poverty to high-ranking Air Force general and eventually CEO of one of the largest companies in Puerto Rico, a life where determination and spirit let one boy to learn to reach beyond the sky itself.

Nice sandals, but run a little big
Size: 12 Little Kid, Color: Pink Faux Leather, Size: 12 Little Kid, Color: Pink Faux Leather
I got these for my oldest daughter, I tend to order a little big so my kids can wear them a little longer. These are a little bigger than expected, however. Not a big deal for us since she has other shoes to wear at this point....BUT I don't think most people would be happy if they not be able to use the product immediately. At any rate, these appear to be very well made. The cushion resembles adult style padding as it's pretty firm. The velcro strap works well and is a good choice for kids. Lastly, these were $25 at the time of testing which is on the high side for kids sandals. These are made of faux or PU leather, so a little surprising. I would expect that price to come down a little to be competitive. Overall though, pretty decent sandals that run a little large.
