Best advice you ever received: My older brother told me as I was entering High School to "Be a Froot Loop in a world of Cheerios".  What he was telling me was to stay true to myself and not to compromise who I am.  He was right!!!!

Most unexpected moment: As a middle school Peer Assistance Leader, I was able to meet Tyler.  Tyler opened up to me about some challenges he was experiencing at home and at school.  I would offer my advice and offer to pray for him.  Months later, I got a text from Tyler letting me know how important those small kind gestures meant to him and if I had not been there during that time of his life, he would not be alive today.  Wow!  Talk about having a strong impact on someone's life.  My eyes were opened to how one can make a positive difference in another's life with a little kindness and consideration.
