slinky Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 didnt see this posted anywhere... (searched) great article on ESPN by Elizabet Merrill http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3135111 MIAMI -- The school is not what it seems. It sits on 30 acres of manicured land near condos and bird-watchers. The folks at Miami Douglas MacArthur South, an alternative high school full of inner-city kids and at-risk teenagers, have a saying: Even good kids can make bad decisions. Nobody really knows why Sean Taylor showed up one day in February. He was like that, often leaving people guessing. He'd done speaking gigs at schools around the Miami area as penance for one of his own questionable decisions, but this trip was voluntary. He was supposed to talk for an hour, and stayed for three. And when the young NFL star who seemingly had finally figured it all out finished his spiel about staying on a straight path, at least two young men vowed to stay in school, just like Taylor. "They were really taken by him," says Steve Rummel, the former principal at MacArthur. "They said, 'I'm going to college. I can do this.' "He touched a lot of them." http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3135111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
