Deshaun Watson and the Code

Deshaun Watson is the quarterback for the Clemson football team which almost defeated Alabama for the national title. College teams all have a bye week during the fall, and when it is Clemson’s bye week they have a tradition of giving up one day to work on a Habitat for Humanity house. Deshaun Watson grew up in a Habitat house, and so when they went to work on one he spoke to the person in charge and said he would like to do more. The result has been that he has become the face of Habitat in that area of South Carolina, speaking to groups, especially children about the opportunities that having a home will give them. He knows the difference that hope for the future can make, and he wants to do his part to inspire young people. We all can “do more.” What is an area that your team could do more? What is an area of interest to you in which you can do more? The Code says “I will give of my time, skills and money as I am able for the better of my community and world.” Like Deshaun, we are all able!
