Mr. Petz is an incredible speaker. If you ever have an opportunity to hear him speak, do not miss it!
Two of my fellow cheerleaders were in a fight and I could tell that the one was very upset. As the captain, I knew my job was to help. I went up to one of the girls to ask if she was okay and she yelled at me to go away. So I thought to myself maybe she just needs time so I walked away. Later that week I decided to try again and see if she was ready to talk. When I asked she started to cry. She told me that she was very sorry for the way she yelled at me. I obviously told her that it was okay and I knew she needed time. I then talk with her for about an hour about the situation and how I could help. We figured out a plan on how she was going to talk to the other person. She used the plan the next day and the problem was instantly solved. The two now get along and have not fought since. I was extremely glad to help and it still makes me smile every day.
I held onto this card waiting for the perfect moment to pass it on. I often found myself thinking later, “that was the right moment.” On my birthday, my parents and I went to enjoy lunch together. Our waitress was beyond enthusiastic and such a joy to be around, I knew it was the perfect moment to pass along my card. It was a day of celebrating and she deserved to be celebrated!
In 2016, my best friend gave me this card with the intention that I would write my story and the card would begin it’s journey (Little did she know, I was in love with her and hung on to the card figuring it could serve as a reminder as we parted ways in the coming months). Life happened and we grew distant only so we could be drawn back together, and I am about to give the card back to her on our one year anniversary. I love this girl with all of my heart and look forward to spending the rest of my life with her. She is funny, kind, and more than I could ever ask for. Every single moment with her is significant to me. Here’s to the journey from here....
