Take the Pledge
Coach Lee Rose, a native of Estill County, Kentucky, is one of only 10 NCAA basketball coaches to take two different teams to the NCAA Final Four. Coach Rose has spoken to thousands of students in the Forward in the Fifth service area about growing up in Appalachia. He discusses what life was like growing up poor and how he set goals and worked hard to become a success. He shares stories and provides insight on interactions with players such as Michael Jordan, Tony Delk, Cedric Maxwell and Jamal Mashburn, and lists five assets that all students should develop if they want to succeed. Coach Rose believes that the first step to success is a good education and is asking students to pledge to take their education n as far as they can. If you would like to take the pledge, go here.
