Daily News | How an Uber ride helped Jacob Beccles find a home at Cornell
“Our paths were pretty similar,” Davis said of Beccles. “When he got here, it was just getting him to understand that he was just as capable as every other kid and to bring the same confidence to the classroom that he brought to the basketball court. When he did that, you really started to see him open up. He’s a very likable kid. When he smiles, everybody smiles.”In May, around the time Beccles mulled prep school, a teacher at Constitution, who also is an Uber driver, made a fateful pickup.
The teacher mentioned Beccles’ name, that he was a great student, a good kid, and a talented player. He also mentioned that Beccles likely was going to spend a year at prep school. At some point during their postgame meeting with the coaching staff, Candelaria left the room. There was some confusion when she returned.
Beccles told the staff he wanted to commit. Hands were shaken, hugs exchanged, and a dream was fulfilled.Later, he added: “I just want to thank Rob for believing in me and putting me in positions that I never thought I could be.”
