Eddie Jenkins
On the Friday before the 42nd Super Bowl, Attorney Eddie Jenkins came to visit the Smith Leadership Academy with his Super Bowl ring from the undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins. He was warmly greeted by his interviewers and throughout his conversation he talked about the importance of leadership. He talked to the students about being able to serve before being able to lead others. The students were very excited and had much to share with Mr. Jenkins.
