Bauxite High School Football Coach Shares His Story of ACEs and Resilience

 

Timmy Wimberly, a graduate of Bauxite High School and now one of its football coaches, shared his story of childhood adversity and its effects on his learning and achievement at a professional development session for Bauxite teachers last week. The video of his story has been shared on Facebook more than 7,000 times. Despite a childhood filled with poverty, neglect, and hunger, and becoming a father himself at 15, Wimberly credits the guidance and support of his teachers as the factor that got him where he is today. It’s a testament to the power of positive adult-child relationships and the role that teachers play in their students’ lives, whether they are aware of it or not.
