I was watching the Giving ...Great topic for a blog. I was watching the Giving Awards last night on NBC. Now, that made me also think about role models. Perhaps sports isn't the best place to look for role models. Last night I saw a young lady who was the first to go to college in her family and because of that she has inspired her own siblings, all of whom dropped out early and had babies, to go back to school and strive for a degree. That's a role model. Not just someone to admire for a particular skill - like playing a sport - but someone who actually makes us try to be better. I feel bad for Ryan Braun and I hope he can prove them wrong. Either way, his reputation will be forever tarnished. That's just a bad thing all the way round.Leplumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377277832069964095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261054998476561021.post-13436920275636883662011-12-11T12:27:46.582-06:002011-12-11T12:27:46.582-06:00That's great, Paul.
