started to accept him. Michael learned to deal with the people staring at him and just focused on getting a education with the help of the teachers.
Learning is Ongoing

learning in school.
Focus on the Journey
Before Michael was taken in by the Touhy's he just went along with life, never really trying to achieve
anything, but when he was taken in the Touhy's they started to help him get his life on track, and Michael started to enjoy life, he found interest in football and started to focus on that, he improved his grade and got a university scholarship, he then went to play in the NFL.

Michael never really had any one to help him in life, until Leigh Anne Touhy took him in to live with her and her family. Leigh Anne learned to Michael never really had any one in his life and she started to help him. Once Michael started playing football and universities started to take interest in him, Leigh Anne hired a tutor to help Michael get his grades up so that he would have a better chance at getting a university scholarship. If it wasn't for Leigh Anne taking Michael in and helping him Michael would still be living the life that he grew up living.
