Hall of Fame

Have you ever traveled to a professional sports hall of fame? Have you dreamed of being elected to a hall of fame in your chosen field of work? Do you want the world to remember your name? I have. But there’s only one hall of fame we should all strive for. This week I’m going to share the story that prompted this post, what hall of fame we should aim for, and how to get there.

Two weeks ago after our football game my truck broke down while driving home. I was fortunate to have another coach, Nick Walls, stop to offer help and get coolant for my truck. I then called my grandparents. If you know my grandparents, you know what kind of people they are. If you don’t, you will after reading this. It was around 11:30 pm when I called them as they were leaving the Knights of Columbus Hall. (My family usually goes to the KC Hall after the local high school football and basketball games to gather with friends.) They immediately came to help me. My grandpa knows way more about cars than I do. After looking under the truck’s hood for a few minutes, my grandpa advised I get it towed and went back to the car with grandma to call for a tow truck. He used his AAA insurance so I didn’t have to pay. After waiting 20 minutes or so my truck was picked up and towed to the mechanic. My grandparents then drove me to their house and let me take their car home for the night. Their selfless actions that night inspired me to write this post.

How many people would stop what they’re doing that late at night to help someone else out?
