11-year-old Damon Weaver is a KEC TV News Team reporter from Kathryn E. Cunningham/Canal Point Elementary in Florida. It has been young Damon’s dream to interview President Barack Obama since election night. The sixth-grader’s long-awaited dream came true today! Check out this up-and-coming journalist’s interview with the president right now!
Damon spoke to the president for 10 minutes and asked him several questions related to education.
I love this little fellow. I hope he never loses that drive to push on to get what he wants. I have enjoyed seeing him make it all the way to this interview that he has wanted since before inauguration. Carry on young sir.
What a thrilling moment this must have been for the 11 yearold! I hope he becomes inspired to be our next African American president after his meeting with President Obama!
Congtatulations, Damon! You’re shining bright!
I remember seeing him on the news with Katie Courik(sp) during election night. He is a very articulate young man. Hopefully this opportunity will keep him focus on becoming a journalist. I wish him much success in the future. I love to hear about bright young minds!!!
Cool beans! Lucky kid. I’m happy for him.
Yay! He finally got his wish. I’m soooo proud of this young man. He’s such a wonderful example of what drive and determination will do.
You make us proud, Damon.
Congratulations Damon!!! He finally got his interview.
Didn’t he also get a full scholarship from some college in Florida?
I’m from South Florida like Damon and I’ve been keeping up with him for quite some time. I’m soo happy that he finally got his chance to interview President Obama! He’s been working hard to get up there and his hard work paid off. Way to go Damon!
This should be something that he’ll never forget. I would like to interveiw some people.
This boy is so cute!!!
i saw his interview on the news!! what a great little man.
who is this kid? he has a speech problem or maybe its his southern accent and how did he get a scholarship!!!? not fair
Omg. He is adorable. I love the fact that he is from the South and is doing big things! I pray that he goes on to do even greater things. For you to say something so ignorant about him not being able to speak properly is rude and ignorant. I am sure that he got his scholarship because at 11 years old, he is a very articulate young man, trying to do something positive instead of just hating on other people. stop being a hater and try encouraging others. If u don’t have anything nice to say, especially about a child, just be quiet!
