My Challenge to You My Challenge to You

Take a couple of minutes to watch the video about 16 year old Danny Lilya... you will be glad you did.


What a story this kid has. When I see stories like his I cannot help but to become inspired. Here is a kid that is working to overcome insurmountable odds. His dad said it toward the end of the video... if you would have told him 16 years ago his son would be playing football he would have said, "Yeah Right."


Share the video with your students in PRIDE class. Remind them of this when they say they cannot do something because it is too hard. Heck, remind yourself of this when you think you cannot do something. There is always a way, you just have to be willing to stick with it.


Think. Achieve. Succeed.
