AMARILLO, TEXAS -- The football player Rudy Ruettiger, made famous after his life was portrayed in the movie "Rudy" is coming to Amarillo.
Rudy will be speaking to students at Horace Mann Middle School Auditorium, Friday, January 21.
Through the schools English/Language Arts classes, all students have viewed an edited version of the movie and discussed several excerpts from his book, "Rudy's Insights for Winning in Life."
Each student was then responsible for writing a plan-of-action essay for achieving their own goals for college and career. The student essays will be judged by the Mann Leadership Team, and a number of students will be chosen to have lunch with Rudy on Friday after the assembly.
The school staff wants all the students to understand and believe that with hard work, college can be a choice for them.
