Cade Cunningham’s calm confidence on the Pistons court was forged right here in Arlington, where high school wasn’t always easy. As a sophomore at Bowie, he faced jealousy and isolation, but those tough days taught him what real leadership looks like—lifting others up, not tearing them down. When Bowie retired his jersey, the whole community turned out, celebrating not just his NBA stardom but the kindness and grit he’s shown since day one. It’s a reminder that the way we treat each other in tough times can shape who we become. What moments from your school days still guide you? #Education #CadeCunningham #Arlington
