In September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a History teacher at RobinsonHigh School in Little Rock, did something not to be forgotten. On the first day of school, with the permission of the school superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she removed all of the desks in her classroom. When the first period kids entered the room they discovered that there were no desks.
'Ms. Cothren, where are our desks?'
She replied, 'You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn the right to sit at a desk.'
They thought, 'Well, maybe it's our grades.' 'No,' she said.
'Maybe it's our behavior.' She told them, 'No, it's not even your behavior.'
And so, they came and went, the first period, second period, third period. Still no desks in the classroom. Kids called their parents to tell them what was happening and by early afternoon television news crews had started gathering at the school to report about this crazy teacher who had taken all the desks out of her room.
The final period of the day came and as the puzzled students found seats on the floor of the desk-less classroom. Martha Cothren said, 'Throughout the day no one has been able to tell me just what he or she has done to earn the right to sit at the desks that are ordinarily found in this classroom. Now I am going to tell you.'
At this point, Martha Cothren went over to the door of her classroom and opened it. Twenty-seven (27) U.S. Veterans, all in uniform, walked into that classroom, each one carrying a school desk. The Vets began placing the school desks in rows, and then they would walk over and stand alongside the wall. By the time the last soldier had set the final desk in place those kids started to understand, perhaps for the first time in their lives, just how the right to sit at those desks had been earned.
Martha said, 'You didn't earn the right to sit at these desks. These heroes did it for you. They placed the desks here for you. They went halfway around the world, giving up their education and interrupting their careers and families so you could have the freedom you have. Now, it's up to you to sit in them. It is your responsibility to learn, to be good students, to be good citizens. They paid the price so that you could have the freedom to get an education. Don't ever forget it.'
By the way, this is a true story. And this teacher was awarded the Veterans of Foreign Wars Teacher of the Year for the State of Arkansas in 2006. She is the daughter of a WWII POW.
Do you think this email is worth passing along so others won't forget either, that the freedoms we have in this great country were earned by our U.S. Veterans?... I did.
Let us always remember the men and women of our military and the rights they have won for us.

BREAKING NEWS: Nick Chubb has pledged $5 million from his latest sponsorship deals to fund homeless shelters across Cleveland. His initiative will open 100 housing units and 200 shelter beds for those in need. Speaking emotionally, Chubb said: “Cleveland gave me everything — love, energy, belief. Now it’s my turn to give back. I can’t stand by knowing families are sleeping outside in this city.

Tony Gwynn could BALL!

Gwynn was drafted by the San Diego Padres and then San Diego Clippers ON THE SAME DAY in 1981.

He still owns the single game (18) season (221) and career (590) assists records at San Diego State.

Marvin Harrison Jr. is an absolute CLASS ACT.

In a recent interview with GQ, Harrison was asked what his secret ingredient was to help him perform on the field.

“My Bible. I continue to pray, to pursue my faith as much as I can outside of football.”

And then he was asked what he wants his legacy to be.

“I don't want anyone to remember the awards, touchdowns, yards, whatever it may be. I just want people to remember the person who I was. Most important is that I was the guy that treated everyone equally and said hi to everyone.”

With a mindset like this, there’s NO DOUBT Harrison is worthy of the first overall pick 🔥
