So, I should probably be writing something about graduation tonight and about how I feel about leaving or how excited/sad I am...but I just don't have the words to write. I'm really not excited or sad, it's just another day. I am, however, excited to see Ms. Kimery's reaction to her "surprise". But even more so, I'm still excited because I saw Bethany Bohnenblust today!! My parents are probably tired of hearing about it, but just seeing her for the short time this morning really made my day. She's awesome. She's the one who actually inspired me to start this blog to share things I'm learning. Did I mention she's awesome? She is!
She has been such a
n inspiration to not only me, but to people, FFA members and nonmembers alike, across the country. I remember making my dad stay up and watch her retiring address with me. He said he would "if he could stay awake", which I took to mean, "You can watch it here, but I'm going to sleep." He stayed up through the entire session.
If you haven't seen this yet, it definitely deserves a watch.
As soon as Bethany stepped off the stage, I did two things. I texted her and I turned to my dad to see his reaction. All he said was "Wow. You can tell that she is a Christian."
If I can be half the inspiration that she is, or shine my light half as bright as hers, I will have accomplished something incredible.
Thank you, Bethany.
