Are You a "Talker" or a "Doer"?
Last spring, when speaker Ryan Manion was invited to campus by seniors Nick Weiss and Seb Hall, her message of resilience, perseverance and "struggling well" struck a chord in the audience, but school counselor and coach Todd Fletcher didn't just listen -- he put her words into action. Before leaving the library, he committed to running the 48th Marine Corps Marathon in late October of this year.
He says, "She asked us whether we were 'talkers' or 'doers', and right then I decided I was going to begin training." He says that running in Boston this summer was a joy, but coming home to our steamy summer days is a completely different experience. So, Pirates, when you see Coach Fletcher putting in the miles on A1A, give him a wave and a honk to make the miles fly by, feel free to ask him why he chose this particular challenge or show your support in hallways with a high five!
