  11. Pitbull makes a surprise visit at Somerset Academy Chapel Trail

    On Friday, April 12th, "Mr.Worldwide" (Pitbull) gave Somerset Academy Chapel Trail a surprise visit to encourage students in light of FCAT week. The sound of screams could be heard far and wide as Pitbull entered the gymnasium in which students were assembled. Following a performance by Somerset's Varsity Dance Team, excitement continued to build as Pitbull took the floor and stepped up to the mic. Although he did not perform a song, he did better by making an inspirational speech. He said that he wouldn't be where he was today without people who believed in him and he let students know that he believed in them, too. Despite not being able to stay very long, Pitbull left a great impression with the words that he did say about how <strong>we</strong>, as young people, <strong>can do anything with&nbsp;perseverance</strong>!
