I work as an adjunct instructor at a really great community college called South Arkansas Community College. ONE of the things that makes it a great example of community and ONE awesome college is that it sponsors and promotes a really good Lecture Series. In my small town of 18,000 people, I've gotten to meet Clint Hill, the Secret Service agent famous for jumping on the back of President Kennedy's limousine immediately after the president had been shot in a Dallas motorcade. And I've met an FBI profiler, a space shuttle astronaut, a holocaust survivor, an actress from a CBS television show, an author of vampire novels, and a nationally known gardening expert.
This week the next speaker in the series was announced and it will be Rudy Ruettiger, former Notre Dame football player famous for being too small and too poor a student to get into Notre Dame until ... well until he just did it. The real life scout team player who's only quarterback sack (and the only statistic) in his Notre Dame career became the basis for the movie, "Rudy," will be bringing his story of setting a goal and making it happen to El Dorado, Arkansas, on October 11, 2018.
Come out and see Rudy, and realize that the only person who can really tell you that you are too small, too slow, or too anything else to live your dreams, is you. And learn why you - the only one that can talk yourself out of anything - should spend more time talking yourself up and talking yourself into the things that will make your life ONE in a Thousand.
That's this week's ONE. See you next week.
