00:00Man, this one really stays with you.
00:03There's this guy, Chukwameka.
00:05Back in third grade, his only pair of sandals broke.
00:09He told his mom, and she just cried.
00:13There wasn't any money to replace them.
00:16So the next morning, he walked to school barefoot.
00:20Not just once either, it was a three-mile walk, every single day.
00:25And he kept doing it for six years.
00:28Eventually, a teacher noticed and got him a pair through a local charity.
00:33But by that point, something had already changed in him.
00:37He later said that walk made him serious, like every step meant something, and he wasn't going to waste it.
00:44Fast forward, he earns a full scholarship to the University of Lagos,
00:48then a fellowship to University of Cambridge, and ends up teaching at University of Oxford.
00:54And the best part?
00:55He went back and paved the road to his village school.
01:00Not for comfort, but for what those walks can turn someone into.
01:04Oh, I see.
01:06Totally.
01:08But for what those walking, people like living in, people like living in, people like living in, people like living
01:09in, people like living in being in Point of the Urbanais.
