Carmen Garner grew up in the "hood" in Washington, D.C. He never went outside as a child, "because people get shot out there," except when his cousin's boyfriend took him fishing. "I remember every single time I went fishing as a kid," he says. Today Garner is a teacher at Shepherd Elementary School, and when he received his economic stimulus check, he used it to create a non-profit that allows him to take children from struggling neighborhoods fishing.
