The DeSmet Family Worldwide: A visit from Horace Grantn

The girl's school is always having interesting, talented and sometimes famous people come talk to them. This time it was none other than one of the Chicago Bulls, 4 time NBA championship player, Horace Grant!
He gave a fantastic talk about team work and understanding your role on a team. He knew going into the Bulls team that there was only room for 1 Michael Jordan, but he, Pippen and Rodman all knew what their role was on the team and without every one's contribution there wouldn't be a championships and no MVP (Michael Jordan). He used this to help explain that this is how life and jobs/ companies work. Without everyone doing their part the CEO would fail and if the CEO failed the company would fail. It's all relative and every one's role is important for success.
After his talk, he stayed around for pictures and autograph signing. One of my dearest friends here has a hubby that works for the NBA. They get to meet some of the coolest NBA stars ever! Her husband was the one that brought Mr. Grant to the school. He was holding Horace's championship rings in his pocket and let me and Ella try them on. I seriously couldn't believe #1 how crazy cool it was to have those on my hand and #2 how huge that mans fingers are!
Ella got to hang out with him in the office for a while with my friend's kids. She had him sign some pictures and asked him questions. The best part is, that he asked her just as many questions. He was such a kind and incredibly nice man. It was truly an honor!
