I am 16 years old, I’m a sophomore and I got my card from Maine Youth Leadership and it means a lot because not only is the story behind this card so great and meaningful but it shows to start something new, and to like follow your dreams and it just stood out to me so much because this story is so meaningful and it makes me want to start something new and to get noticed and help people more.

Every ambassador heard the inspiring story and got a card.
Hearing the story of Nathan helped me realize that I’m not “just a teenager.” The little things can surely make a huge difference in someone’s life and I will never forget that.

A guest at Gaylord National gave it to me. Idk who i'll give it to!
I work at Gaylord National as a front desk agent and a very nice guest stopped by my station to check in. He brightened my day and apparently I brightened his because he handed me a 7of hearts card!!! I think the smallest gesture like this can make the biggest difference and I’m glad I was thought of enough to receive this lucky card! =)
Each staff member at my work received a card.

Jane will receive this card. Jane is a co-worker who does not hesitate to share her talents with her place of work. She is creative and does not hesitate to use her skills to assist others accomplish work place goals. Today she went the extra step to find out why our Survey Monkey account was not upgraded. It sure made my day smoother having the issue resolved.
This card was purchased with the book after the Zanesville Muskingum County Chamber Spring Break, 2015.

My dear friend Janet gave me the card. I plan to pass the card on to someone who inspires me to dream bigger and let go of fear.
Last summer I started having some health issues that resulted in me seeing a neurologist. After several tests and appointments, I was informed that I have lesions on my brain and there was a possibility that I had MS. I spent the next few weeks thinking about my life, my dreams and what was really important to me. For years, I chased after a career – living to work and not working to live. I decided that I needed to change the way I looked at life, and that there is more to life than working, paying bills and trying to maintain a certain lifestyle. We only have one shot at this so why do we waste so much time worrying about the things that don’t really matter? I used to stress out about the smallest things and would quickly forget all the wonderful things in my life. I have always been grateful for the blessings in my life, but this experience opened my eyes and today I am truly grateful for EVERYTHING, including the things most people don’t think about being grateful for, like walking. Fortunately, my story ends with a negative diagnosis of MS. The experience of not knowing what my future would be like allowed me to look at life differently. I changed my priorities and today my life is more full because of those few weeks.
