JULY 15, 2022: “I feel like I would do it again.” Those were the words signed by 16-year-old deaf student Rolando Grant, moments after he completed a flight experience across sections of Kingston and St Andrew on Wednesday.
Rolando’s story was highlighted by The Gleaner on July 5, after missing out on face-to-face and online classes for two years due to an unissued birth certificate.
Co-founder and director of maintenance at the Aeronautical School of the West Indies (ASWI) Christopher Gooding told The Gleaner that a student shared Rolando’s story with him and he decided to foster his dream by providing him with a flight experience with an instructor.

God is not good let’s be honest and truthful, why would a god make a child without his hearing? You peoples is so brainwashed with religious bullshit that you’ll live a life of lie because of religious fear !!!

Very proud of Roland. He appears to do an excellent job with the pilot in his first attempt. He is focus and shows that he is very interested to drive a plane. He is very ambitious and needs to give this opportunity. To show the world that disability does not hinder a person from achieving their full potential in life. Bravo young man. I just hope that young Jamaicans that tells themselves they cannot do it, look at this video and go out there and do what they would like to do to make there country proud. And themselves , with parents, relatives and friends. Be an inspiration to others. Lovely video clip, well informative and uplifting.
