Today, we’re going to Walmart in Raleigh, North Carolina for the Awesome.  The next time you’re in Walmart, take a good look at the employees, chances are they are doing some pretty amazing things you have no idea about.  Meet Dylan Beard, he works at the deli in Walmart.  He has great work ethic and a master’s degree in public health at Howard University, which he hopes he can put to use counseling at-risk youth. Oh, he’s also an incredible athlete and hopes to represent the USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris. He is what’s called and unsponsored athlete and relies on every bit of his paycheck to help train for the games and hopefully make the team. Dylan says, “At the end of the day, my name is attached to what I’m doing. So yes, I’m working at Walmart in the deli, but it still represents me, which represents a lot of other people.”  Recently, Dylan received a donation of $20,000 from the Today Show to support his training. Remembering character matters and being brave enough to take your shot – Dylan, THAT’S AWESOME.
