You read my mind! I just watched "The Blind Side" and thought that throughout the movie. It made me smile when Michael went to Ole Miss and made the Dean's List, with the help of a tutor. Not only did he have athletics, he also had education (with help from tutors and teachers who cared). On a side note: That movie made me smile.
