Extraordinary is an amazing word. In a world where the ordinary is, well ordinary, Khadevis Robinson does not fit that description. There is almost nothing ordinary about him. He had an extraordinary up bringing in which he was raised in the inner, inner, inner, inner city, south side of Fort Worth, Texas. His friends were extra ordinary in the sense of even though they may have been on the wrong path, they always encouraged, cheered, and motivated him to stay on the right track. His family was extra ordinary in the fact that they never discouraged him from having such un-ordinary dreams, and even welcomed his ambitions. His high school days was extra ordinary as he dealt with the death of his step father, coming up short in his first love of football, and excelling in a sport he initially hated, track and field.

His choosing and attending TCU was an extra ordinary decision given it was totally different than anyting he had seen or done before, yet, it was suprisingly within a Sunday morning 30 minute jog away from where he was raised. His name is extra-ordinary as how many people do you know name Khadevis. He has continued to strive and toil to do extraordinary things not only on the athletic track but on the track of life. In his professional track career he has had his ups and downs. Yet, he likens it to life's up and downs. So he is inspired to help others understand, what he learned from track, life, and his favorite book, and that is :For the race does not belong to the swift but to those who endure to the end.
