Siouxland Magazine | Converse /25 Resilience = Grit By Tony Micheals Were you ever cut from an athletic team in high school? I sure was. A bunch. Baseball, basketball and golf. When I finally found a sport sans the cutting process, I excelled and gave it 100 percent. (Text me at 712-274-1057 and I’ll tell you what sport actually welcomed me onto the team.) I love the theme of this issue, resilience. I do however, prefer the term “grit” because it sounds like something out of a Western movie. Being rejected in other sports made me more appreciative of opportunities. I worked at a horse track in Omaha. Co-workers laughed at me when I told them I wanted to get into radio. Their laughter fueled me. I think of them when I put my headphones on in the morning. Even 24 years into this career. I’m lucky enough to share a studio every weekday morning with “Can-do Candice” Nash. She says we are all self-employed. YOU decide where to be employed. Her work ethic and proving people wrong is a true inspiration. She offered to work for FREE for two weeks starting her career to prove she could do it. Believe me, she can. I’m inspired to see others buck the odds and reach their potential. In fifth grade, Mrs. Swanson assigned us an essay to ask our parents who inspires them. My mother mentioned our neighbor Connie. She has physical limitations and overcame challenges daily without complaining and she excelled with a very busy and fulfilling lifestyle. Witnessing these examples of fortitude helped me out 2 decades later when we were blessed with my son, Trey. He’s now 16, non-verbal and happens to be very involved with his autism. It must be so daunting to live in a world comprised of people so unlike you. He communicates in his own way. He acts differently than his peers. We’ve raised more than a few eyebrows while running errands in Siouxland. Yet, he smiles through life more than others his age who have far less obstacles. A lot of people who have the gift of gab could learn a lot about being resilient from Trey. That lil’ cowboy has a lot of grit.
