Wapakoneta NFL Speaker

There was a big surprise waiting for students at Wapakoneta Middle School Wednesday. Jimmie Bell is a motivational speaker. At 6-6, two hundred and sixty pounds, he's also a former Ohio State Buckeye and NFL lineman. Bell spoke about overcoming adversity, reaching your dreams and legacy. He said he's been blessed with great size, strength and speed, which he used to reach his dream of playing in the NFL. He also said he used his size to be a bully. He said he battled through serious injuries, but explained that if he had worked harder, he could have played longer. His end message was, it's up to us to decide how we're remembered, our legacy. Bell said that you may make mistakes, but you should work to correct them and learn from them.
