Hi I'm Carl Azuz. We are
five days away from the official start
of spring but for many schools and
colleges in america
spring break has sprung or is about to
be springing
what does this look like in the era of
coronavirus several u.s colleges have
canceled spring break
the university of california davis has
offered students seventy five dollars
not to go anywhere during the week off
these schools are trying to prevent
people from traveling
partying in large groups and possibly
catching and spreading covet 19
but thousands are traveling anyway
looking to enjoy a much anticipated
vacationlast friday the transportation security
administration said it screened 1.3
million people at u.s
airports that's the highest number of
travelers in a day since march 15
2020 and that's got some health
officials worried
the directors for the u.s centers for
disease control says when travel numbers
go up
an increase in coveted cases tends to
follow and in florida where some beaches
have been crowded with visitors
one mayor says there are too many people
coming to let loose
while another says it's important for
them to keep their masks on and their
distance from each other
the good news is america's daily number
of positive coronavirus tests has
continued
to decrease experts hope spring break
doesn't change that

cities was founded the most recently in

wesley hamilton is a cnn hero who
started a non-profit organization called
disabled but not really and it's what he
went through to get there that really
makes his story stand out
a shooting an ulcer that required six
surgeries and two years of bed rest
depression and becoming dangerously
overweight in his own words here's how
hamilton turned it all around
[Music]
i was born and raised in kansas city
missouri growing up
i was a product of my environment living
in poverty
my role models were people that was in
the streets
i never knew no other way out
january 12 2012 was the day that my life
changed forever
i was part of an altercation
that led to me being shot multiple times
in my abdomen
and result of that spinal cord injury
paralyzed from the waist down for the
rest of my life
when the doctors told me that i was
never going to walk again
i didn't believe it i was in denial
that put me more in a deeper hole
of depression this looks
very very good to me my daughter's name
is nevaeh
i was determined to be a better person
and a better father
and that was literally the motivation
for me to start to take control of my
[Music]
life
i enrolled into a local community
college and took up a dietitian course
fell in love with it it started to heal
my body
in ways that just wasn't physical it was
mental
i lost a hundred pounds that was
mind-blowing for me
i thought to myself at that point man if
there's anything that i want
i just have to go get it
i also opened my eyes up to fitness
i became this award-winning adaptive
athlete
again reaching levels of life that i
never thought i was going to reach
i was motivated to find a way to help
people with disabilities become more
active and healthy so i started my
non-profit organization
it's 105. yeah that's hassle what's
going on in there
we got a nice workout today
[Music]
my program is built for those that are
ready to take the next step in life
and focus on independence
you guys go back soon tony that's too
much leverage man
we challenge people with disabilities
through training
what things that maybe you never thought
you could do because you just
didn't have the courage to try look at
us moving baby
come on where you at trey we work with
people with spinal cord injuries
ptsd visually impairment slowly all
right you can stop right here
if you have a limitation that it's not
allowing you to be who you are destined
to be then we can help you
[Music]
during covet i made my garage into a gym
adding that band right like it's the
band
once it's safe to get back into a
community atmosphere
we're really looking to continue our
group classes
nice you figure it out that's all that
matters
good job sled i had never seen a
positive representation of a person in a
wheelchair
it symbolized how to take control of
your life
hey man nick didn't come to play today
that's allwe have created a safe place
where all people can work out and
allowing you not to be intimidated
because when you come through the door
we actually have things that
speak to your ability level come on easy
all right let's get these russian twists
going i just wanted to
change the way people see fitness and
allow people to understand that it is
for everyone
go we've opened our doors up to kids
with disabilities
i like it i want to be that mentor
there we go one more five now row
it's very important for me to go in
depth
on a personal level with everybody that
comes to our program
what is accountability to you like what
gets you in the door
proving to myself that
yes we can do this i come from a place
of empathy
i understand the pain
in 2018 i was in a car accident
i'm paralyzed from the chest down
everything in life is not going to be
glitter and go
some things stink i'm just worrying
about what i can do versus about
what i can't i love working out before
my accident
i might be at the gym five six days a
week
i was told that i wouldn't be able to do
some of the things that i do now
are you going to be there bro more than
anything it gives me hope
it's showing me that there are more
options out there
then i got a great support system on top
of that with everybody here
we're all here for a common goal to do
better for ourselves
a lot of us try to get back to the lives
we had you know but
you're learning that you're about to do
more the determination for life
is powerful man if you don't want it you
ain't gonna have it
you ain't gonna get it hey i'm drinking
on that
with wes it's kind of good to have a
mentor that is
in the situation that you're in and they
understand where you're going and where
you're trying to get to nice
before i met wes i was just living as
somebody in a wheelchair i wasn't
experiencing life west introduced me to
anentire world of handicapped people doing
things i didn't know it's possible
he definitely reinstilled the ability to
push past
adversity set a goal achieve it
i choose not to allow my struggle to be
my identity
[Music]
i've gained so much from my injury that
i don't see nothing wrong with it and i
want
other people to have that same mindset
rather you want to be an athlete an
entrepreneur go back to work
be a parent what we do is give you
the tools to be successful in life
we're just playing that seed give me
some love
good job good job i'm not done yet
i'm just getting started
there are different levels of star wars
fans out there
these guys have got to be at the top
they recently built a massive replica of
the bounty hunters razor crest gunship
seen in the mandalorian series
the model actually used for that series
was only two feet long
most of the shots on film are computer
generated but this russian fan's replica
is morelife-sized 45 feet long private sponsors
a fan and a friend who sold his car all
chipped in
having a car is stellar but having a
spaceship is interstellar
of course it might have caused some
grief to see the car go some critics
might have called it bokeh tan crazy
but the fans would have said at least
they care enough to
do such a good job it really was for a
good replicas and they'd probably do it
all mandalore again
