(DES MOINES, Iowa) -- A 12-year-old Iowa boy said bullies have apologized to him and he is now newly-inspired to pursue his love for Irish dance after meeting an NFL star.
“It’s boosted my confidence so much,” Carl Tubbs, who was bullied because of his love for dance, told ABC News. “I feel like I can do anything and no one can stop me.”
Carl, a 7th-grade student who has been taking Irish dance lessons for four years, met Baltimore Ravens star Alex Collins, 23, on Oct. 22 when the Ravens played an away game against the Minnesota Vikings.
