“Would you like to watch a speech about changing the world, even if it means missing game time?”

Every Eagle in the studio replied “yes.”  All gathered to watch Navy Seal Commander William McRaven deliver the 2014 University of Texas Commencement speech.

Admiral McRaven stressed importance of showing up every day, working hard and never giving up.  The studio was completely silent as the Eagles soaked in the lessons.

Who suggested the speech?  A Guide?  A parent?  Another adult?

As you probably guessed, it was one of the middle school Eagles.  One Eagle made the suggestion; all agreed to give up free time to learn something important.

Changing the world indeed.
