The NFL Can Wait, My Education Comes First

Now these are the types of stories I like to hear about. All – American Safety Myron Rolle of Florida State University has decided that instead of entering the upcoming NFL draft (he was projected 1st or 2nd round pick) he will go across the pond to Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar. This is proof that education is more important to some people. it’s not all about the money. They both were once in a lifetime types of opportunities and he chose to continue his education over entering the draft. I applaud this type of behavior. He passed up millions of dollars to do this. How many can say they would do the same?

If I had taken my education more seriously there’s no telling where I would be. If a bunch of people would follow this example there’s no telling how great they could become. Not saying that everyone will be Rhodes scholars and have an opportunity to study at Oxford but if they put education above all then the sky’s the limit.

I wish there were more feel good stories like this on the front page instead of buried in a link close to the bottom of the web page.

This is something that children or anybody can read and find inspiration from even if they never get to experience that level. they can aspire to be more than they originally thought they could be. Check out the article by clicking here.

Myron Rolle is now one of my heroes. If he ever makes it into the NFL, I’ll be rooting for him. I’m sure with the positive attitude that he hasno matter what he does he’ll succeed.
