Devin Wyman Motivational Speech

Devin Wyman, of the New England Patriots, visited our High School on Wednesday, Oct. 17. Wyman discussed how important getting a good education at school is, and that you need to have big dreams to make it in the real world.
Wyman connected with the students by sharing stories about how drinking will only lower your goals and outlook on life, and that drugs do not help you in any way.
Wyman displayed how his hard work and training in the NFL has paid off by amazing the crowd with his physical strength. He placed a solid steel bar across the shoulders of Dusti Lummus and Mrs. Scogin. Then he instructed them to hold onto the bar. He proceeded to lift the steel bar with a person at each end over his head and spin them around in the air. Later, he held the steel bar with his teeth and bent it into a U shape to show the students that no matter how far you are going down the wrong path you can still make a u- turn.
Wyman encouraged the girls to respect themselves and their body and not to give in to peer pressure. The boys learned to respect women and to treat them like a queen.
As Wyman finished up his speech, he allowed one student to try on his jersey and championship rings. Maleek Shaheed was the lucky student that was chosen.
