The success of young Omari Banks on the West Indies Cricket Team playing in competition against well-seasoned international teams, is both a personal and a national triumph. Omari is seen as a hero and an ambassador for Anguilla. The fact that he was followed to Antigua for last weekend’s match against the Australians by cheering fans and compatriots, speaks to the pride and high esteem in which he is being regarded at home and abroad. The praise showered on him by commentators and other persons outside of Anguilla and on the island is a source of encouragement not only to him but to all of us. It encourages us to aspire to other positions of achievement, honour and influence.
