Hook: Wait. Wait..are we live? Oh we are? Okay*clears throat* it's a great evening ain't it? Awesome weather for summer. To bad we aren't here to talk about weather, we aren't even here to talk about last night's game, today we are here to talk about me, Stuart Scott
Introduction and Background info (birthplace, birthdate, any relevant childhood info, relevant relationship info, etc.): I was Born July 19, 1965 in Chicago, to O. Ray Scott, my father, and Jacqueline Scott, my mother. Although I was born in Chicago with my two sisters and my brother, I grew up learning the streets of North Carolina, which is where I later attended college. But before I got to enjoy the most beautiful campus of UNC I spent my high school days at R.J Reynolds …show more content…

I punched cancer back with just as much force as it did, it just got the last punch. Now that it's all over, said and done, I don't regret a thing, I was a role model and inspiration for my kids, and cancer patients everywhere, and that's all I can ask for. My most prized memory from my life was when I won the Jimmy V award during the ESPYs and I gave my acceptance speech, “When you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer. You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the manner in which you live.” But sadly I did die, but that doesn't ,mean I lost, I still left a very impactful
