This year GSCS fall athletes are participating in the Beyond Self Athlete Program, a student development program, led by Community Partner and Mentor David Johnson, meant to grow student leadership skills, build character and improve school culture. To kick off the program, all middle and high school student-athletes attended the Beyond Self Athlete's Assembly today in the Griffin Auditorium. Athletes were told they are all Persons Of Influence (POI) and the importance of the 3 R's: Respect Yourself, Respect Others and Take Responsibility. Key Note Speaker Marlin Lynch III (Pastor Mo) shared the importance of discovering their purpose and making positive life choices. Words of wisdom from Pastor Mo included:
"Learn to say No"
"Your self-worth is not a group decision"
"Some people are not your friends, they are just people you know"
"Don't let your ice cream melt while you are counting someone else's sprinkles"
