Evan Harden, who graduated from Roman Catholic High School, is now the school's first-ever calisthenics teacher.
"Calisthenics is basically using your body weight as the mechanism to condition yourself and become stronger and more functional," he explained."I never found myself in a victim mindset. I always wanted to work and push myself to become better," he said.
"This young man was shot and came back. He was back at school, never made excuses and found a way to get his body and himself and his mind to the next level," said Brian Conroy, the assistant principal of the school who was also one of Harden's football coaches. "Even at times not affording a gym membership or maybe the gym is closed -- this is always there, it's always available to you," Harden said.
