Wow! A Real Live NFL Player from the Steelers Team Came to Talk to US!!!

Tuff Harris, from the Pittsburgh Steelers NFL team came to visit us today. He offered words of encouragement to the students about listening to important adults such as parents and teachers. He also shared his story of having a dream at their age and the steps he took to achieve it. Tuff made it clear that reaching a goal is tough and it takes a lot of effort. What he stressed the most however, was the fact that he knew he had to make good choices at their age to help him in his future. Tuff grew up in the Hardin/Lodgegrass area and faced challenges. He then went to Griz country for college where his dreams started to become a reality. This was an amazing opportunity for so many of your kids, as their dreams too are to play a professional sport. Wow!! Very, very cool! As he said at the end, it is never too late to start and it is never too late to change! Just get dreaming!!! Thanks to Mrs. Hankins for setting this up and inviting us to listen to a man that obviously knows what kids are going through. AWESOME!!
