Invincible

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of seeing a truly great movie, a movie that really made me appreciate the strength of the human spirit. That movie, was Invincible. For those of you who may not know, this movie tells the story of a south Philadelphia native, Vince Papali, a man who only played one year of high school football, and eventually played for the Philadelphia Eagles. This man had been told all his life that he would never be anything, that he should never aspire to anything because it would only end in failure. This man rose up to meet the challenge, and triumphed over all those that didn't believe in him. Invincible made me feel privileged to be a human being, to be alive. This movie made me realize that we can do anything, as cheesy as that may sound. Thank you to Vince Papali for being who you are.
