Can you Guess Who this is? She seriously smashed it with this costume for 'Merica Day! PS It is Terri Mitton! She seriously is my idol!
The week before Homecoming Sarah came into my office for soccer practice and said "Guess what I am going to be Queen!"
I said What?
She said I am going to be homecoming Queen! "Oh you were nominated!"
"Yes! I am going to be Queen!"
So I called the teacher advisor to make sure Sarah had the story straight! She was nominated for Homecoming Queen and the Senior class really wanted her to win but they were a little nervous because the whole school voted! I relied the message to Karen so that she could prepare just in case Sarah won! We might have cried a little bit for the awesomeness of it all! That the senior class would pull for one of their own that was an amazing person but most defiantly not the Barbie Doll/Popular type that you would think a "Homecoming Queen" would look like! To Sarah though she had already won! She didn't obsess about it or make a big deal she just knew she was queen! On Monday when the everyone voted I was super excited! I wouldn't have minded if Sarah won queen but I thought how cool for her to get to wear a pretty dress and go to the dress so I was hoping for an attending spot but really hopping that the students would pull through! I helped count the ballots and new the race was pretty close! Sarah and Timmy were neck and neck! In the end Sarah won! I was so happy! I was super stoked! Even though everyone wasn't suppose to find out till the next day I had permission to call Karen and tell her! Karen was so happy! We cried! We talked about how this was a testament to Sarah's personality and her love for people! You can't walk down the halls of Highland with Sarah with out her asking everyone "Who are you"! I am proud of the Highland Student Body and their ability as a whole to look past the outside and see the person inside! The King was a boy named Derek who has cerebral palsy and walks with a limp, but the students don't care! I love Derek he is so cute and one of the nicest kids ever! It is good to know that the students can see that too! At the assembly Derek's mom just cried because she was so happy for him! So I cried with her of course! This just makes me happy and I see a bright future for the world! I know Highland isn't perfect but as a whole the students are working to make the world a better place! They as young people are figuring out what some adults still haven't figured out. They know the value of kindness and they will use that as they go out into the world. I am greatful to work with such promising people! I am greatful to be able to spend time with Sarah! She brightens my day tremendously every time she walks into my office! I am a better person from knowing her.
