DaVonte “D-Rock” Ross, the city’s newly--minted “Athlete of the Year,” is a remarkable young man.
For four years, he’s served as the football team manager, often arriving to practice long before his peers and staying long after, but always maintaining a positive attitude and a spirit of helpfulness at all times.
He inspires his fellow students, offering words of encouragement and kindness to everyone he comes into contact with during his day.
Everyone at OHS knows D-Rock, and D-Rock knows them.
In an era where kids seem to be more self-centered and inwardly focused on what can be done for them, here’s a young man asking what he can do for everyone else.
D-Rock isn’t just an example for his classmates and peers at Opelika High; he should be a model for us all.
We should all be willing to help others in any way we can.
We should all be dedicated and steadfast in whatever jobs or activities we engage in, doing our utmost to give it our all as best we can.
We should all approach each day with a positive attitude and a smile, knowing that happiness can be infectious if we let it spread.
We should all be polite and civil to one another, remembering our manners and the dignity we are all afforded as fellow people.
And, most importantly, we should believe that with hard work and perseverence, we can do anything we set our minds to do.
We salute D-Rock for everything he does for his school and his community. He’s a Bulldog through and through, a young man who bleeds red and black.
D-Rock, thank you for the example you set for your classmates and for all of us here in your community.
Congratulations on your accomplishments, and we can’t wait to see what wonderful things are in store for you in the future.
