Guest Speaker Talks About Getting Out of Slump

By Jasmine Schmitz

"I’M BOBBY JONES. I speak around the country to thousands of youth

sharing my story. As a former division I athlete, I had dreams of going into

the NFL. Once I fell short of that dream, I found myself spiraling into

addiction and depression. I lost 10 years of my life to alcohol. After making

the choice to pull myself out of struggle and discover my purpose inside

the pain, I’ve made it my mission to empower today’s youth."

Bobby Jones came to Burke School on October 25 to talk about his

journey falling into the deep end to coming out and being a motivational

speaker.
