Almost everyone has a memory or two from high school that makes them laugh, if only from embarrassment. But only a few fortunate souls are lucky enough to have a high school legacy that they can look back on with pride!
Sure, there are a handful of adults out there who can probably say that they’re proud of their teen years. Heroes like these teens who rescued a kidnapped child have something to hang their hats on, and the whiz kids behind this incredible performance certainly have nothing to be ashamed of.
Now, we can add another to the list: a one-time high school student who is now a deputy at the Atascosa County Sheriff’s Department in Texas. Deputy A.J. Mendez is making waves this week after he escorted the Poteet High School drum line onto the field at a school football game.
While I’m sure he was an admirable escort, people are really taking notice because of Mendez’s incredible performance, where he took up drumsticks and joined the band mid-song. People are stunned by his amazing talent, but it turns out that his own high school legacy explains how he was able to take up the beat, just like that. Watch the video below to hear Deputy Mendez explain the story.
And if this talented officer made you sit up and take notice, please SHARE on Facebook for everyone who loves to see what cops do for their communities!
