Sugar Ray Leonard spoke at his alma mater Parkdale High School's graduation yesterday telling the students:"You have so many doors and opportunities that are available to you that not succeeding is not acceptable." "You must be a fighter in life."
Leonard, now 53, graduated 36 years ago from the high school and went on to have a legendary boxing career. The school that he graduated from was a mixture of blacks and whites back then, and though the demographics of the school have changed, the goals of the students should still be the same to live productive lives while striving for excellence. Good to see that Sugar Ray hasn't forgotten where he came from, and is still uplifting the younger generation. Thanks to the Washington Post for the article.
