plus years as a professional fighter in the sport of MMA even competing over seas several times! The 2010 Brutaal Middle Weight Champion has committed 20 plus years of his life to serving youth and young adults particularly those individuals belonging to the underrepresented groups of people. Rico La'Mar has worked with students with both mainstream as well as those with special needs within the Minneapolis Public Schools, Osseo Area School District, Intermediate District as well as St. Joseph's Home for Children. Education and mentoring are extremely important to Washington as he has received his bachelors degree in business administration with a concentration in marketing as well as his masters degree in educational leadership. Years later Washington was asked to be apart of Augsburg's Scholastic Connections Mentoring program, where he served as a mentor to a young man of color who happen to be an Auggie wrestler just as Washington had for 2 years.

The "8" represents the 8 principals driving the mission of the work that Washington has committed his life too....helping people. Having competed professional in K1 as well as MMA and since martial arts is Rico La'Mar's first love: he has decided to began the movement with offering kickboxing/muay thai classes, small group classes/training and 1-on-1 training sessions!

AI is transforming every industry, and education is no exception. In 2025 and beyond, K-12 educators have a unique opportunity to harness AI to enhance learning, personalize instruction, and maximize their own productivity. 💡📚

Here are 5 powerful ways AI can elevate student performance and educator efficiency:

🔥 1. Personalized Learning at Scale

🎯 AI-powered platforms like adaptive learning tools analyze student data in real time, offering customized lesson plans that fit each learner’s strengths and challenges. This means no student is left behind and every student gets the support they need!

🔥 2. AI as a Teaching Assistant 🤖📖

Grading, feedback, and lesson planning take hours—but AI can help! Automated assessment tools provide instant feedback on assignments, allowing educators to focus on deeper student engagement rather than paperwork.

🔥 3. Smart Tutoring & 24/7 Student Support 📚🌍

With AI-powered tutors like Khanmigo (Khan Academy’s AI), students get on-demand academic help, reinforcing learning beyond the classroom. This especially benefits under-resourced schools where one-on-one teacher time is limited.

🔥 4. Breaking Language Barriers & Boosting Inclusion 🌎✨

AI-powered translation tools like Google’s Gemini & Microsoft Translator help ESL students thrive by offering real-time language support. AI also supports students with disabilities through speech-to-text, dyslexia-friendly fonts, and audio-assisted learning.

🔥 5. AI for Career & College Readiness 🎓💼

AI-driven career platforms like YouScience & MajorClarity guide students toward best-fit careers based on their strengths and interests. Whether pursuing STEM, trade schools, or entrepreneurship, AI helps them prepare for the future workforce!

🚀 Final Thought☝🏽! AI isn’t here to replace teachers—it’s here to empower them! By embracing AI in K-12 education, we can bridge gaps, improve learning outcomes, and equip students with 21st-century skills that will drive lifelong success.

🔥 Wrestling fans, do y’all remember this moment? 🔥
Shelton Benjamin delivered a masterclass in heavyweight dominance back in 1998, pinning Iowa’s Wes Hand with a dramatic over-under throw to seal Minnesota’s dual meet victory.

💥 I was in the building that day as part of the Augsburg College wrestling team, and the energy was absolutely unreal!

🗣 Let’s celebrate one of the greatest moments in collegiate wrestling—tag your wrestling fam and share your favorite dual meet stories! 🙌🏽

🎙️ "Everybody Can’t Go With You" ✨

Let me tell you something… I’ve been there. Lost people I thought were my day ones—"best friends," family, folks I swore would be in my corner no matter what. But here’s the truth; not everyone is built to understand your vision. And that’s okay.

Like Steve Harvey said, "You can’t tell everybody your vision." If God—or the universe—intended for them to see it, they would’ve been given that sight. But instead, they’re standing on the sidelines, confused by your moves, doubting your grind. Why? Because it’s not their purpose to carry your vision. It’s yours.

When you’re up six nights in a row, putting in that work, pushing through exhaustion, and planting seeds, they don’t see it. They can’t. But the minute that harvest comes, they’re suddenly front and center—acting like they were there the whole time. But deep down? Some of them aren’t clapping for you; they’re resenting you for being the one who made it happen.

Here’s what I’ve learned; the climb to the top gets lonely, but it’s necessary. Not everybody can go with you. The higher you rise, the smaller your circle becomes. And sometimes, that circle disappears completely. That’s growth. It’s painful, but it’s real.

Stay focused. Keep your faith strong. Know that your vision is just that—yours. Trust the process, embrace the lessons, and remember this; the ones who were meant to be there for your journey will show themselves over time.

Keep grinding. Keep shining. The right people will recognize your light when it’s their time to see it. 🌟👊🏾
