Born in the mountains of Puerto Rico, Antonio Maldonado’s life began as the youngest of 12 children in a world of poverty, yet one also rich in love. His father was dedicated to his work and to reading to young Antonio every night from the pages of The Count of Montecristo, instilling a love of learning in Antonio at the very beginning. 

It was not until seeing a plane for the first time, his father at his side, that Antonio’s dreams began to soar beyond the clouds. From that moment on, a passion was ignited for the sky, leading him on a journey through the ranks of the Air Force, serving in Vietnam, and eventually achieving the rank of Brigadier General. 

The Sky Is Not the Limit is an inspirational story of one man’s journey from poverty to high-ranking Air Force general and eventually CEO of one of the largest companies in Puerto Rico, a life where determination and spirit let one boy to learn to reach beyond the sky itself.

He graduated with high honors from the Central High School in San Juan, Puerto Rico and from the University of Puerto Rico in 1964. He obtained a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from the Interamerican University in 1969 and is also a graduate of the Senior Executive Development Course at the University of New Hampshire. Additionally, he is a graduate of multiple higher education schools in the US Armed Forces. Among them, he is a distinguished graduate of the United States Air War College class of 1982. 

Upon graduation from the University of Puerto Rico in 1964, where hw was also commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the US Air Force (USAF), Maldonado began a brilliant military career that distinguished him as an aviator, leader and strategist of that branch of military service. In 1968 he became the youngest Air Force pilot to command a B-52 bomber. He is a veteran of the Vietnam and Persian Gulf wars with more than 4,000 flying hours including over 425 combat hours and 183 combat missions. His decorations include the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, the Air Force Distinguish Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, the Distinguished Flying Cross and eleven Air Medals, among many others. In 1986 he was chosen as Best Wing Commander of the USAF Strategic Air Command. 

He culminated his distinguished military career as a Brigadier General retiring in September 1991 to begin his service to the people of Puerto Rico becoming President and General Manager of the Puerto Rico Industrial Development Company (PRIDCO) responsible for the development of Puerto Rico’s economy through the creation of jobs and industrial and hotel infrastructure in support of local and foreign investment. 

In 1993 Maldonado became the Chief Executive Officer of the American Red Cross, Puerto Rico Region, directing all laboratory operations, the manufacture of blood-derived biological products and unsuring the supply and safety of blood products collected and distributed by the American Red Cross in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.

Comfortable and Easy to Wear Daily
Size: 2 Little Kid, Color: Navy/Blue
My daughter has been wearing these navy/blue shoes since the weather has been less rainy and more sunny. They are great for outdoor play, especially on days when it's warm outside. The knit mesh upper keeps her feet from overheating, and the cushioned insole feels supportive without being stiff. At size 2, the fit is accurate and the width runs a bit roomy, which gave her some growing room without feeling loose. The slip-on design with elastic laces and pull tabs is a real plus. She can get them on and off without any help, which she loves. The shoes are light enough that she barely notices them during long active days. My one small complaint is that the sole feels more like firm foam than rubber, so they can be a little slippery on smooth indoor floors. For the price, these deliver solid everyday value. They look good, hold up well to regular use, and my daughter reaches for them first most mornings. Pros: - Breathable mesh keeps feet cool - Easy slip-on design with elastic laces and pull tabs - Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear - Accurate sizing with a roomy width - Durable for the price Cons: - Sole can be slippery on hard smooth surfaces - Limited outsole grip compared to rubber-soled shoes

Great kids' shoe — easy on, comfy all day
Size: 3 Little Kid, Color: Pink/Lavender
My kid has been wearing these for a few weeks now and I'm genuinely impressed with how well they've held up. The knit mesh upper keeps feet cool and comfortable during long days at school and outdoor play, and the cushioned EVA midsole does a great job absorbing impact. What really won me over is the slip-on design with elasticated laces and dual pull tabs — my child can put them on and take them off completely independently, which is a huge win. The fit is snug but not tight, and they run a bit roomy in width, which is great for kids with wider feet or those who need a little growing room. At $32, the quality feels solid for the price. Lightweight, breathable, and easy to wear — these check all the boxes for an everyday kids' shoe.

Cute, Comfortable, Light-Weight Shoes, Perfect for School
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Pink/Lavender, Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Pink/Lavender
These have turned out to be great everyday shoes for my 5 year old. She normally wears a size 10, but since that size wasn’t available, I ordered the 11 expecting her to grow into them. I was pleasantly surprised that they already fit her pretty well. There’s still a little extra room in the toe area, but the shoes fit securely around her ankles so they don’t feel loose or slip off while walking or playing. She says they’re very comfortable and loves how easy they are to slip on by herself. The lightweight design is nice for everyday wear, and they’ve held up well so far despite being worn almost daily. They've become her favorite shoes to wear! Also the pink/lavender color is really pretty in person. Overall, I’m very happy with them and would order again.

Great shoe well made
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Pink/Lavender, Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Pink/Lavender
Really good shoes at a fair price. My daughter loves the pink and purple gradient colors. Really beautiful. Shoes have proven themselves very durable. She's been wearing these a few times a week for the last couple months and they still look new aside from some dirt stains. Fit perfectly. Very comfortable. This is always her first pick in the morning when she's getting dressed. Good breathability you can wear these in hot summer weather without sweaty feet. Versatile shoe looks good enough to wear out and about or exercise in.
