Hello again!

I wanted to share with you all a letter from Walter Goffigan, Program Director for Diversity and Life Skills at Kansas State University.

"On September 15th, Joe Rhea came and spoke to our students-athletes, coaches, and support staff. Joe relayed his message, "Think First then Think BIG!" to the audience. Joe inspired the audience by his personal trials and accomplishments in his life, along with stories from others he had come in contact with over the years. In his message, Joe spoke about being the best you can be for that day because you never know what tomorrow will bring; to focus on goals for that day because what you do that day can change your life. Joe also spoke about treating others with respect and to have the courage to make mistakes, because from those mistakes you will learn to overcome obstacles in your life. It gives me great honor to write this letter of recommendation for Joe Rhea for his heart-felt inspiring message to the audience."

Wow! Sometimes you wonder as speaker did they get what you were trying to say? I had a great time meeting and getting to know Walter Goffigan, a former NFL football player. I am thankful for his wonderful letter, but more importantly, thankful to have met such a kind hearted man. Who welcomed me into his home and to meet his family. It is not often enough when we hear of such good people. Thank you Walter!

I hope to spread my message and story to all Universities. It's one that I believe in very deeply, and know that it truly does make a difference!
