Feel Good Story Of The Year

 I'm a creature of habit. Aren't we all? Anyway, on Saturday mornings during football season I watch ESPN's Game Day. On this November morning the channel ran a story on a young man born with Down Syndrome. He hails from a little town an hours drive southeast of Columbus, Ohio. The profile showed this lad, Kaden Cox, along with his parents pooh-pooh what specialists said when he was born: that'd he'd be lucky to get a job. Kaden has exceeded beyond anyone's expectations. He graduated high school where he went out for track(the shotput) and wrestled. He learned how to kick extra points and field goals so well that he went out for and plays on a junior college team in Nelsonville, Ohio. Kaden has put to rest a word that should be forever buried. It's called 'Never'. https://www.dailyadvent.com/news/826ca49d94d0581007ed515659bc4193-Ohio-kicker-first-player-with-Down-syndrome-to-score-in-college-football-game
