These boys in the glade did not rely on money, but their skill and how they performed. They made it by their hard work and their dedication. Theses players earned respect through their performance and that is how it should be.

Not only did Jessie try his hardest on the field, he tried his hardest in the classroom and succeeded as well. Earning a nickname as “the professor” from his friends. Jessie is an example of many who has succeeded in their goals of escaping the glade through hard work and dedication. This is my favorite lesson not because I necessarily just learned it, but my eyes were opened to
