[QUOTE="jwsavhGT, post: 424172, member: 652"] [I][SIZE=4]In Puerto Rico, ‘life-changing experience’ for Georgia Tech athletes [URL]https://www.ajc.com/sports/college/puerto-rico-life-changing-experience-for-georgia-tech-athletes/vSMJZjvGZZMpyWrThaNWbP/?utm_source=techsports_fb&utm_medium=social[/URL] Brad Stewart flew home from Puerto Rico on May 12 with memories that he intends never to forget. The Georgia Tech wide receiver plans to keep forever a Puerto Rican flag that he received as a gift. After spending a week-long service trip on the hurricane-ravaged island with 17 other Tech athletes and three staff members, Stewart wants to ensure that the lessons of his experience there do not stray too far from him. “Hopefully I’ll continue to keep those images in my head and act upon them,” Stewart said. “We can’t save the world in one day but every step towards it you can, you should take.” While Stewart’s football team and its fans grumbled about the cancellation of the Central Florida game because of Hurricane Irma, he and the rest of the travel party came face to face with hurricane damage that was far more grave. “You see articles and stuff online with pictures and stuff like that, but until you actually experience it firsthand, you’re not going to understand what they’re really going through,” Stewart said. “And when I got there, it was just crazy what they were having to go through day to day just to continue to make it by and continue to help other community members who couldn’t help or weren’t able to help.” Stewart and his five teammates who made the trip (Liam Byrne, Charlie Clark, Carson Fletcher, Hamp Gibbs, Austin Nash) have already shared plans to get more teammates involved in the future. Stewart called it a “life-changing experience.” “Hopefully, the number continues to grow and becomes a really big event for Georgia Tech because every student-athlete that goes will be impacted positively and really, really help change their lives in a positive way,” Stewart said.
