I'm a Hall of Famer!

Yup. It's true.

This year, I had the pleasure of being inducted into the Mountain Pointe High School Hall of Fame.

I was inducted as a member of the 2016 class that included comedian/writer T.J. Chambers, fighter Clifford Starks and Olympian Will Claye.

When I first heard I was nominated, my first thought was "why me?"

Regardless of my credentials, however illustrious or mediocre, I was humbled and grateful to be inducted. Mountain Pointe and the teachers and classmates I had played a huge part in my recovery.

With all of the stories going around regarding bullying and peer pressure, I hope when people see my plaque in the gym lobby, the see just how important and beneficial a supportive and caring environment can be.

If you didn't attend the ceremony this September, you can watch the festivities online on my YouTube page.
