SHERMAN, TX -- Sherman native and CNN contributor, Will Cain, made his way back home Thursday.

Dozens of students, faculty, and residents poured into Sherman Hall at Austin College to hear Cain speak.

He spoke about the economy, the political debate in America, and even climate change in his lecture, "If I Just Had a Little Humility, I'd Be Perfect."

The packed auditorium listened to his words of encouragement. He says he always remembers growing up here.

"I try to combine the common sense that I grew up learning here with any kind of book knowledge and schooling that I've acquired since," said Cain.

Cain is currently a contributor to CNN and The Blaze TV. He also has made appearances on MSNBC, Fox News, and HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher.
