TA will always be one of my favorite Saints, hate that we didn't retain him.....

Great story, better person. TA showing others how to do things when you’re as fortunate as he is.

What a class act by the former Saint!

“When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.”​

― Dom Helder Camara, Dom Helder Camara: Essential Writings

I am happy for this young man and his family.

I do think this portrayal fails to recognize the true message of the story. I do not feel joy then. This is one family helped by one person. We have millions of families in such condition.

How do we as a nation follow a good example to help all of them?

I sympathize with your viewpoint and I agree but for this one brief moment, it is nice to hear story like this.

Love and miss that guy. I always hoped he would retire a Saint.

Middle school graduation. As awful as it sounds.

Perhaps because half of us are idiots and lack common sense?

For the parents and grandparents that don’t make it another 4 years.

Honestly, I'm not surprised to read this.

TA has always been a low-key humble guy. That shout-out he gave to Gleason at the recent draft is another example.

He's definitely a class act.

Shout out to the kid Xavier Jones as well - getting a full ride to Harris Stowe State University for his determination to succeed.

Same.

I still hope he does.

It's not a big deal....unless you're in 8th grade and heading to high school then it's a pretty big deal....big enough this young man walked 6 miles to be a part of it

My grandson will be graduating this Wednesday from eighth grade going into high school, and I can definitely guarantee you that it’s a big deal for his grandparents as well as him. Any, and all advancements in life should be celebrated because as we all know, life is too short we have to enjoy anything positive that happens because it could be the last one.
