Over the past few years, I have watched many specials on Steve Gleason. Steve Gleason will always be remembered for his blocked punt on the night the New Orleans Superdome reopened for the first time after Hurricane Katrina. Steve played for The New Orleans Saints from 2000-2008. In 2011, Steve was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), considered a terminal neuro-muscular disease. Steve is determined to inspire others by continuing to pursue life adventures despite his diagnosis, and has challenged the worlds of technology and science to identify their most promising developments toward new treatments and a cure.
One of Steve's slogans is NO WHITE FLAGS. Basically saying that he will never surrender and will continue to live his life to the fullest! Now obviously Steve Gleason's situation is much different from ours, but we can learn from this man.
We are going to adopt Steve Gleason's slogan in our class-----NO WHITE FLAGS!!! No matter how difficult school is, we will not give up. "I don't know" will no longer be accepted. We are going to try everything we can do to make ourselves better students, and most of all, better people. Just like Steve, we will live life and strive to be the best we can be!!
