It was August 25, 2006, my first on-camera studio open for the CBS News broadcast 60 Minutes. Executive Producer Jeff Fager poked his head in the dressing room. Good luck, Brotha You've come a long way to get here. You've earned it.
...If only he knew. My mind flashed back to elementary school, when a therapist had informed my mother, I'm sorry, Mrs. Pitts, your son cannot read.
In Step Out on Nothing, Byron Pitts chronicles his astonishing story of overcoming a childhood filled with obstacles to achieve enormous success in life. Throughout Byron's difficult youth--his parents separated when he was twelve and his mother worked two jobs to make ends meet--he suffered from a debilitating stutter. But Byron was keeping an even more embarrassing secret: He was also functionally illiterate. For a kid from inner-city Baltimore, it was a recipe for failure.
Pitts turned struggle into strength and overcame both of his impediments. Along the way, a few key people stepped out on nothing to make a difference for him--from his mother, who worked tirelessly to raise her kids right and delivered ample amounts of tough love, to his college roommate, who helped Byron practice his vocabulary and speech. Pitts even learns from those who didn't believe in him, like the college professor who labeled him a failure and told him to drop out of college. Through it all, he persevered, following his steadfast passion. After fifteen years in local television, he landed a job as a correspondent for CBS News in 1998, and went on to become an Emmy Award-winning journalist and a contributing correspondent for 60 Minutes. Not bad for a kid who couldn't read.
From a challenged youth to a reporting career that has covered 9/11 and Iraq, Pitts's triumphant and uplifting story will resonate with anyone who has felt like giving up in the face of seemingly insurmountable hardships.

Love this sheet!
Color: Olive Green, Size: Queen
Love this fitted sheet! It keeps me cool at night, no sweating. I spilled water on it and it dried quickly (moisture wicking), so that was proof it does what it says. Definitely buy more!

Highly recommend for excellent quality at an affordable price
Color: White, Size: Queen
I usually buy my bed sheets from high end bedding stores, but I decided to give these a try because of high reviews and the sale. I am not disappointed. These sheets are high quality Egyptian cotton with attention to details. They have deep pockets, are very soft, thick cotton and wash and dry nicely with very little lint in the dryer screen.

Very soft and comfortable
Color: White, Size: King
Was unsure how comfortable they would be with lower than expected thread count, but these sheets don’t disappoint. King size fitted sheet is a little big for our mattress, but we just tuck the excess in.

Great sheets!
Color: White, Size: King
These sheets are great. They are thick, which I love, and they stay on the mattress corners. The sheet are perfect in size. My husband and I love to have fans on and these sheets still don’t keep us hot at all even all covered up. I bought the white ones and they wash well. I bought the white because they were on sale.
