Tyson Dever recently visited Queen City High School and shared the inspiring story of his own personal tragedy with students. Tyson was waiting to turn left when a 33-ton cement mixer, driven by a distracted driver, ran over his sports car. The neardeath experience left him paralyzed from the waist down but highlighted his incredible passion for life and refusal to be held back by any obstacle. During his presentation, students were challenged and motivated to turn their own setbacks into successes through positive attitudes, choices and actions. More of Tyson’s story can be found at http://www. tysondever.com/.
