>> it's also what kept him grounded. even pitbull says the most important day of his life wasn't the day he got his number one single but the day he got the key to the city .

>> we've come a long way, baby, for real.

>> clearly it's emotional for these future students as well.

>> someone like pitbull taking an interest in this.

>> it's going to be a great school and the kids that will attend this school could present something that miami could be great.
