How Sprint Relay VRS works for…Glenn Anderson
Glenn Anderson, PhD, definitely knows a thing or two. And as a professor at the University of Arkansas, it’s his job to teach a few of them. But perhaps what Anderson knows best of all is something he’s not required to teach—determination.
Born and raised in Chicago in the 1950’s, Anderson became the first person in his family to earn a college degree, then masters and finally PhD. During school he was a top basketball player. He’s raised two children. One of them, Jamaal Anderson, was a 2007 NFL top ten draft pick.
Oh, and by the way, Anderson is deaf.
Anderson won’t go into what he went through at a young age. Mainstream schooling, no interpreters, ostracized by classmates, lack of close-captioned television.
No, instead he’ll hold up his Sprint Wireless Device and mention the many congratulatory messages he received when his son was picked by the Atlanta Falcons. He’ll talk about how Sprint Video Relay keeps him in close contact with his loved ones, friends and colleagues.
Comments Anderson, “Sprint Relay has become a vital part of my everyday life. It’s a fast, powerfully efficient way to manage my work-related and everyday telecommunications. Sprint Relay raises the bar when it comes to quality.”
So if you happen to pass Anderson on the street, be sure to ask him for a picture of his grandson. Don’t expect an old-fashioned hard copy though; you’ll get a crystal-clear shot from his Sprint Relay device.
Sprint is determined to help you.
