A Little Bit of Awesome: 9/25/19 Edition

The awesome here is pretty obvious.


Yes, I realize this is probably a set up, but still. I’m sure there are guys out there who wanted to do the same thing. Still pretty awesome.


In the middle of a huddle, Cowboys QB Dak Prescott called a play and then told his teammates that Wendy’s Spicy Chicken Nuggets were back. Sure, it sounds like some kind of viral, product placement set up. But still, if he’s talkin’ about nuggets in the huddle, awesome.


Here’s another story about a teacher going above and beyond . . .
There’s a 10-year-old girl in Kentucky named Ryan Neighbors who has spina bifida. So she’s been in a wheelchair her whole life. And her school recently planned a field trip to a state park that she knew she wouldn’t be able to go on. It required a lot of hiking. And she’d had to skip similar trips before. So her mom was planning an alternate field trip for her. But one of the teachers at Ryan’s school reached out.
Jim Freeman teaches in the classroom next to Ryan’s, and she’s not even his student. But he volunteered to CARRY HER all day, just so she wouldn’t miss out. Ryan’s mom has a special backpack she can ride in. So Jim strapped it on and hiked all day with a 10-year-old kid on his back.
He downplayed it and said he was happy to help . . . and that it’s just one small example of how teachers work harder than most people realize.


Here’s a Secret Link RIGHT HERE. It’s very adult, but not for the reason you’re thinking.
