board vote shakes school community
Thursday, March 17, 2016 BREAKING NEWS @ mountainadvocate.com KNOX COUNTY’S NEWS SOURCE FOR OVER 100 YEARS This job stinks BOARD VOTE SHAKES Officers find drugs, weapons, feces, urine in suspect’s van SCHOOL COMMUNITY BY EMILY BAKER REPORTER There wasn’t an empty chair left in the room as the Knox County Board of Education began their meeting Tuesday afternoon. Once seats were filled, people began to line along the walls and sit in the floor. All were eager to hear the outcome of the meeting. For weeks, the community has voiced its support of current superintendent Kelly Sprinkles. Sprinkles’ contract was up for renewal, a subject that was originally scheduled for the board’s regular meeting 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 22. However, a last-minute decision was made to hold a special meeting 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 15.

Union College coach honored for heroism BY BOBBIE POYNTER EDITOR On behalf of the City of Barbourville, Mayor David Thompson and the city council presented Barbourville resident Sean Trinque with a plaque for his selfless act of heroism in rescuing Union College Professor Dr. Robert Chandler from flood waters on Feb. 16, 2016. “Without any regard for his own safety, Sean Trinque did what few others could or would have done under the dangerous circumstances,” said Mayor Thompson. Trinque was presented the plaque at the March City Council meeting with his family and friends in attendance. Important Info ✔ This November, Dexter Smith and Merrill Smith, who voted against Sprinkles, may run for re-election. Charles Merida, who voted in favor of Sprinkles, is also up for re-election. Anyone wishing to run against them must file their papers with the Knox County Clerk by Aug. 9. ✔ Two of the three board member voting against Superintendent Sprinkles were recently charged with several infractions regarding their conduct as board members. Dexter Smith and Merrill Smith were accused by the state of overstepping their authority while acting as members of the board. According to the State BOE, no action has been taken on the referral to remove them from the Knox County BOE. Their cases are still being reviewed by the Ky Board of Education’s legal department.

Barbourville Tourism asks City Council for tax increase BY BOBBIE POYNTER EDITOR Barbourville Tourism wants the city to increase its portion of tax revenue. Randall Young, Chairman of the Barbourville Tourism Commission, stood before the Barbourville City Council last week to ask for a one-penny increase on the dollar for tourism and recreation. Currently, Tourism receives two cents on the dollar, which has been the same for the past 20 years. The increase, he told the board, is due to the increase SPORTS in the cost of advertising, the added cost of improving and repairing the city parks, not to mention the recently-added events on the city’s calendar, like the upcoming monthly car show that will be held downtown. “We’re having to do more with less,” he told the council. “It varies, but currently we have $20,000 a month income. This increase would give you about a 50 percent increase to about $30,000-$35,000 a month to support all the activities that we Photo by Bobbie Poynter Randall Young addressed the City Council on behalf of Barbourville Tourism. OBITUARIES Panthers place high in first track meet See B1 See B4 Charles Mays Caroline Leath Larry A. Martin Joan Johnson do. We help with the financial organization, the planning, advertising and in some degree in everything that goes on at these special events.” Tourism, Mayor David Thompson agreed, is involved in some form or fashion with nearly all of the city’s events, from the annual Easter Egg Hunt to the park systems and the barbeque competition. “They’ve put money into the parks and street department or we wouldn’t be able to open the parks,” said Mayor Kimberly Jo Sampson Lillie Mae Partin Rev. Bob Lowery Julie Lee Lane Eugene Barnes Cledia Smith Thompson. “The last two years our parks have suffered regular losses. This year the city is bidding out the concessions because we can’t afford to run them. It doesn’t affect the opening of the park this year, but it affects things in the future.” Tourism Director Denise Wainscott added that advertising costs to reach outside the region, including TV, radio, and state advertising have more than quadrupled over the years.

A graduate of Knox Central High School, he successfully earned a college degree from Eastern Kentucky University. Later, he went on to earn his teaching credentials and began his teaching career in Knox County. He also committed to constantly improving his performance and expertise, earning advanced degrees from both Union College and EKU. Committed to life-long learning, he worked hard preparing to becoming a leader in his field. He taught for years at Boone Elementary. He earned his principal credentials and served as principal for Dewitt Elementary from 1998 to 2001, and for Jesse D. Lay Elementary from 2001 to 2006. From 2006 until 2013, he excelled as principal at the Knox County Middle School, where he distinguished himself as someone deeply committed to “making it all about the kids.” Then, after more than 20 years as a leader in education in Knox County, he became superintendent in 2013. As superintendent, he helped unite and transform a poor, rural school district with scores far below the state averages, to one proudly boasting of schools that have earned proficient and distinguished ratings. His expertise, team building skills, excellent communication skills, and deep passion for improving education earned him statewide respect from fellow superintendents and educators, who chose him for a prestigious statewide leadership position. Kelly Sprinkles has brought to Knox County a legacy of success.

I was in the Knox County School Board room Tuesday. Several things were very unusual about the meeting. First, the timing was odd. Board meetings generally are at 6:30 p.m., and the regular March board meeting was already on the calendar. Yet, board Chairman Dexter Smith scheduled the special called meeting for 1:30 p.m. on a Tuesday, a week earlier, while school was still in session. More unusual, never have I had to walk past eight different uniformed state police officers and sheriff deputies to enter a school board meeting. I thought, “Someone must have planned on needing a lot of security.” And since this was a “special called” meeting, the board may not discuss or act on anything not specified, and it required only a minimum 24 hours advanced notice (almost exactly all we got here at The Advocate). The item on the agenda was a discussion of the contract extension for the Superintendent. However, soon I was glad the officers were there! Passions flared as Knox School Board members, Dexter and Merrell Smith, made and From the Publisher Jay Nolan jnolan@mountainadvocate.com seconded a motion not to extend Superintendent Kelly Sprinkles’ contract. And when a third board member, Peggy Gray, cast the tie-breaking vote to support them, the crowd in the room absolutely erupted. “WHY? Why are you doing this?” Forcefully, passionately, many asked. Why? I was shocked even more when Dexter Smith, Merrell Smith, and Peg- gy Gray each refused to answer. So, I challenge any or all three directly. Tell us. “Why did you vote as you did?” Any or all of you can have free space in this paper, and we will print your answer in full. Just explain why. But, here’s another “Why” question: Why have the state Education Commissioner and School Board not already either removed Dexter and Merrell Smith from office or cleared them from the charges they face? The reason I got from the state was that the file was still “being reviewed” by the legal department. It’s still under review since Nov. 13, 2015? Why does it take five months to review a case? Why is it that school board members under a cloud of possible “immorality, misconduct in office, incompetency, and willful neglect of duty, or nonfeasance” can act before the state can? I think the voters of Knox County deserve answers from our elected officials at our local school board, but also from the state school board. What do you think?

Over time it reseeded to return in a great mass, to grandma’s delight. I recall her proud words clearly, “a touch of blue gives all the other flowers a nice background. Sort of like the sky, I love a touch of blue.” As I walk viewing my garden, the promise of flowers soon to bloom stirs memories I carry from my childhood. I’m reminded of walking with grandma viewing flowers that came to her garden with each spring. Grandma grew flowers to cut for fresh bouquets from her garden and place on a table on the front porch for everyone to enjoy.

Property owners seek annexation to city limits BY BOBBIE POYNTER EDITOR The owners of the Heidrick One Stop property have requested the City of Barbourville annex the property into the city limits. Barbourville Mayor David Thompson gave his opinion of the annexation at the March City Council meeting. “In order for Barbourville to expand, we have to be able to grow,” said Mayor Thompson. “We can’t grow if we get smaller, and we’ve gotten smaller for 10 years.” Mayor Thompson made note in a prior meeting that the city’s income from tax revenues have gone down over the years due to more properties within the city’s limits being bought by non-profit organizations that are not required to pay city taxes. The property in question TAX FROM PAGE 1A “We’re trying to spread every dollar we can as BOARD FROM PAGE 1A many disagreed with, as it was during school hours. Only three items were on the day’s agenda: Adopt Agenda, Discuss and/or take action on Superintendent’s Contract, and Adjournment. “I make a motion to not approve,” said Board Chairman Dexter Smith of Sprinkle’s contract renewal. His statement was short, yet it silenced the room full of teachers, students and parents. The crowd waited to hear the remaining board members vote. Board members Gordon Hinkle and Charles Merida voted in favor of renewing Sprinkles’ contract. Chairman Smith and Vice Chairman Merrill Smith, however, voted against. The motion hung on the vote of Board Member Peggy Gray, who seemed to take a moment before casting her vote against the superintendent. Immediately, the crowed erupted with disapproval. Chairman Smith attempted to adjourn the meeting as quickly as possible. However, the crowd and other board members, demanded answers. “I think all of you that voted not to renew his contract needs to stand up and tell everybody why,” exclaimed Renee Hinkle, wife of Board Member Gordon Hinkle, as the crowd cheered their support. is located on KY North 11 a quarter mile from U.S. 25E and directly across the street from current city property. “All the paperwork has been submitted for several weeks,” said Mike Taylor, who attended the meeting on behalf of the property’s owners. “We’ve been trying to do the right thing and get it done the right way.” Taylor says the property owners have not requested the annexation for themselves, but for the current or future tenants of the store. “If we don’t put the store within the city limits, and all the other stores around us sell alcohol, the store would surely close,” Taylor explained. “Because of the store’s location, they (the tenants who have been leasing the store for the past 5 ½ years) have to be given the option to apply for wisely as we can,” she said, “but we need to be in the game to be competitive. I feel we have the best town in the area, and we need “My wife brought up a good point,” said Hinkle. “I believe that any decision you make, wither it be good or bad, should have some justification behind it. And, if you’re going to make that as a representative of this county, then you ought to have enough guts to stand up and say why.” Board Member Charles Merida chimed in to voice his opinion of the decision. “Three of us sitting right here behind this table made decision two and a half years ago to take Mr. Sprinkles to lead this district. That was a good decision then, and this is a wrong decision now,” said Merida. “I asked this young man three questions when he came before us. Number one, can you take theses students and get their test scores up? He said ‘yes’ and he has done that. Number two, I asked Mr. Sprinkles, can you bring this district together and get all of our employees, and get them to work in harmony? He said ‘yes’, and he has done that. My third question - now, it may offend some of you all, and if it does, then I’m sorry. But, I asked him this question, Mr. Sprinkles, if you have an employee that will not be productive, will you have the balls enough to fire him? He said ‘yes’ and he has done that! So, to vote no now, for personal reason or a vendetta, is the wrong decision.” The three board members that voted against Sprinkles remained quiet as members of the audience, including Sadi ✔ accepting new patients ✔ accepts all insurance ✔ Family practice that treats all medical issues a liquor license. They need that opportunity just to keep their doors open.” The annexation of the property, Taylor explained, would benefit both the property owners and city. Not only would the city benefit from the store’s alcohol tax revenue, but from the added property taxes. The property owners, who have already given the city use of their property for city sewer and utilities, would save on the cost of property insurance, making it a win-win situation for both parties. “For the record,” said Taylor, “we (the property owners) have not said one word publicly about the sale of alcohol, one way or another. We do not live in the city limits and did not have a vote. In fact, I never thought it would pass, but now that it’s here, we have to try to make it work for everybody.” “The way I understand it, and according to our legal handbook,” said City Clerk Helen Strong of the request for annexation, “since the property owners are giving consent, we can go ahead in the form of an ordinance.” The City Council quickly and unanimously agreed to annex the Heidrick One Stop convenient store into the city limits. The following businesses have already turned in their applications for alcohol licenses: Fast Lane Tobacco, Williams Stop and Go, Super Dollar, Lee’s Food Mart, IGA, B’ville Grill, Minute Mart (Shell), Sav-A-Lot, and Rite Aid. In other business the City Council: • Made the following changes to the alcohol to be promoting that. And these events are not cheap to put on.” However, the council had its concerns. “I don’t know about raising taxes again,” said councilman Lawson. “I know a penny’s not much, but still a penny’s a lot for some people when they’ve got so many things going on. I know we need the parks and everything else, but I’m just not sure that I’m gung ho about the whole thing myself right at the moment.” In the end, the council agreed to table the recommendation in order to take time to think it over. adjourn was passed and Smith, Smith and Gray took their retreat from crowd jeers. “This is the end of it today,” said Hinkle, “but his contract doesn’t end until June 30. Things can be done between now and then.” Superintendent Sprinkles spoke of the actions taken my the majority of the board. “I’m obviously very disappointed by the board’s decision,” said Superintendent Sprinkles. “I feel that I’ve done the job that was asked of me when I came on as superintendent. Test scores have increased and moral throughout the district has been on the upswing. I think we do our very best everyday to educate our children. It’s in God’s hands, but I’ll be ok.” Superintendent Sprinkles wished to extend his gratitude to all those who supported him. “All I can say is that I’m humbled. I want to thank them and I appreciate everything they’ve done. I’ve received so many texts, phone calls, Facebook messages. It’s just been overwhelming and, if anything, that matters so much more to me than a job. They are what really matters.” Photo by Bobbie Poynter Property owners for the Heidrick One Stop are asking the city to annex this property.

Above, Sadi Harris, a KCHS senior, addresses the board on behalf of the student body. At right, students from Knox Central applaude following Harris’ speech. Harris, a senior at Knox Central High School, stood to speak of their disapproval. “When I started my journey through Knox County Schools, Mr. Sprinkles was the very first face I saw,” said Harris, in tears. “He is still one the most influential people in my educational career. He taught us to grow up, use our voices and think on our own. You are telling us that we can’t. So, here’s my opinion, and I hope my classmates back me up, we don’t want you on our graduation stage. We want Mr. Sprinkles.” Harris’ words brought the crowd to their feet. Her classmates surrounding her nodded their head in agreement. Finally, a motion to ordinance No. 2016-1 - Section 13 (Happy Hour) and Section 15 (Drive-thru outlets): Removed all text from per state recommendations.

This second article in our series for 2016 will focus on the matriarch of the internationally known Phipps Family Singers, Kathleen Norris Helton. Kathleen was the daughter of Maynard and Ella Matlock Helton, born April 22, 1924, on Brittain Fork of Big Indian Creek in Knox County. She attended Emanuel School where she began playing the guitar and entertaining at school programs each Friday evening as well as playing and singing western songs at music parties. Kathleen and Arthur were the most popular of all the singers in the area and were well on their way to success, polishing their Carter Family style of music. While they were playing music and perfecting their sound, they fell in love and were married that same year in 1937. Kathleen was 14 years old and had just finished 8th grade. In November, 1959, the big break finally came for the Phipps family. They recorded their first single hit record for ACME Recording Company based in Manchester Kentucky.

Doctor M. Alnahhas MD began practicing in Barbourville Jan. 1 and has already seen overwhelming support from the community. Doctor Alnahhas and his staff offered community leaders a tour of his facilities, decorated with cartoons to make VAN FROM PAGE 1A anating from the van. Barbourville Patrolman Adam Townsley pulled over a green Dodge van around 6 p.m. Thursday, May 10, on U.S. 25E after motorists called 911 to complain about it. The driver was unable to produce identification, and when Officer Townsley checked the vehicle registration, it did not match. Officer Townsley called for backup and the K-9 unit. Detective Steve Owens arrived and interviewed the driver, 43-year-old Aaron Ray Roberts, of Chicago, who gave the officers contradicting information about his travel plans. Roberts told Officer Townsley he was from Macon, Ga., and on his way to Illinois, but he told Det. Owens he was from Atlanta, Photos by Emily Baker little ones feel comfortable. “I want to improve the medical care here by offering services that were not here in Barbourville,” said Doctor Alnahhas. “I look to work with every physician here to improve the health of the babies in Knox County.” The office, located on Treuhaft Blvd., is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information, or to make an appointment, call (606) 227-0173. Ga., on his way to Richmond, Ky. Roberts told Det. Owens his ID was on the van’s center console, and when Det. Owens checked the console, he spotted a small plastic bag containing a white residue. Patrolman Josh Owens brought in Rusty, the force’s drug dog, who alerted to drugs several times. Aaron Roberts was arrested and taken to Barbourville ARH Hospital, where he refused a drug test. The subsequent search of the van revealed several other plastic baggies with the same powdery residue, a black spray-painted toy gun, multiple I.D.s, both male and female, several cell phones, containers of urine, feces rolled up in a shirt, an expandable police baton, a machete, several switch blades and spring-opening knives, assorted drug paraphernalia, and a drug kit. The search took several hours due to the vast amount of items in the van and the existence of urine and feces. The officers found two hidden compartments in the body of the vehicle, one behind the driver’s seat and the other behind the sliding door. However, both compartments were empty at the time of the search. Aaron Roberts was booked into the Knox County Detention Center and charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol, no license, no insurance, three counts of possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of controlled substances (cocaine and unspecified). He is being held on a $25,000 cash bond, and is due in court on March 22. LOST AND FOUND Above, local chamber officials and other dignitaries gathered for the clinic’s grand opening.

BY BOBBIE POYNTER EDITOR In less than 24 hours, with the help of Google and Facebook, the Mountain Advocate found the owner of a high school class ring lost 16 years ago. On Jan. 21, 2016, the Mountain Advocate’s circulation manager, Mike Giles spotted a class ring nearly buried at the Manchester and Main Street intersection. The ring, it turned out, belonged to Donald Ridenour, who had graduated from the now defunct Wynn High School in Tennessee. The Campbell County Chamber of Commerce was contacted, who then put the ring out on their Facebook website. There were several immediate responses, and in no time at all, the Chamber was able to contact the ring’s owner. Ridenour recently picked up his ring, which had been mailed to the Campbell County Chamber, thanking everyone for the efforts made in returning it. The ring, he said, had been given to an old girlfriend whom he heard had moved to Barbourville after graduation. Ridenour says he plans on passing the ring down to his child.

We surpassed all our performances when compared to our first meet of last season. To be second overall in this very competitive field of twelve teams bodes very well for the continued success of this group of boys.” The Knox Central Track Teams will compete again on Saturday in the Warrior Invitational at Southwestern. The Wildcats took their places out on the diamond for their first game of the season against visiting Owsley County. The five-inning game was cut short when Lynn Camp earned an 11 to 0 lead over the Owls and the game was called after just four innings. Lynn Camp hosted several games throughout the day between themselves, Harlan, and Owsley County. Austyn Weddle, senior, pitched the first two innings and Eric Mitchell, freshman, pitched the last two. The Wildcats had several hits while up at bat. Mitchell and Dylan Brown, junior, led the team in hits with two each and Mitchell also earned four RBIs. Head Coach Marc Estep is excited to have a win under their belt so early in the season, “I’m very pleased. Everyone has good attitudes at this point so I think we are going to have a good season.” The Wildcats faced the Harlan Green Dragons later in the afternoon and were defeated 8 to 7 in seven innings. Lynn Camp will travel to Williamsburg to play the Yellow Jackets at 5:30.

Time: 4:0 The Mountain Advocate • Thursday, July 18, 2013 • 5B Smith-Smith engaged Photo by Kelsey Gerhardt Hiker Curtis Penix crosses through the Cumberland Gap in Tennessee accompanied by reenactor Pamela Eddy. Penix hiked the the Boone Trace last spring and will attempt the hike again beginning on April 2. FOR THE MOUNTAIN ADVOCATE Curtis Penix, from Michigan, returns to hike the Kentucky portion of the original Boone Trace from Fort Boonesborough, near Winchester, Ky, through the Cumberland Gap to Martin’s Station, located in Lee County, Virginia from April 2 through April 10. He and Givan Fox had hiked the Trace from Kingsport, TN over 16 days in March 2015. Penix’s fifth-great grandfather, Joshua Penix, came with Daniel Boone along Boone Trace in 1779 and it has been Penix’s wish to continue to walk in the steps of his great grandfather. It has never been “hiked” north to south in modern times and this hike will be again somewhat of a research expedition. It can be followed on his web site www.lostinthewander.com where daily blogs will be posted and a schedule of his campsites will be available. A map with a GPS locator showing his position in real time as the hike progresses will also be available to view on the website. Boone Trace was opened by Daniel Boone and his trailblazing party during March and April 1775 and was the first road, EVER, into the land that was to become Kentucky. It is of enormous historical significance to the founding of Kentucky, but also the opening of the entire west. It is also frequently confused with the Wilderness Road, which evolved out of Boone Trace later in 1796. Penix is a member of the Friends of Boone Trace, Inc. whose mission is to support the hike and save the remnants of Boone Trace while elevating awareness of its historical importance. Avid hikers that would be interested in preserving a part of history are invited to join the Keepers of Boone Trace. Members will adopt portions of the Trace and help maintain and preserve it for another 200 years. Any interested hikers can contact Penix through his web site or Friends of Boone Trace online at www.boonetrace1775.com.

B6 — The Mountain Advocate — Thursday, March 17, 2016 ‘I don’t think that’s gonna It’s ‘shedding time’ help your itch any’ PUZZLE NO. 542 The little girl who told us her alarm clock didn’t work right on Fridays came in on time today. I praised her and said, “I’m so glad you are here on time today!” She quickly responded, “Yah, my alarm clock didn’t know today was Friday!” Holly bolted through the door on Monday morning excitedly and bubbled, “Guess what? I just learned to put my shoes on the right foot!” What she was really telling me was that she remembered the trick I had taught her on Friday. I modeled for her how to put the big toes of the shoes together on the floor and then slip them on that foot! Mrs. Bargo! Kelli called, “I am da’ Ma-er of the school!” I asked, “Do you mean the mayor?” She said, “no da’ ma-er!” She Tales from the Classroom Regina Bargo proceeded to get up and get my green pointer stick. She went to the quarter and pointed to George Washington. I asked, “Do you mean you are the president?” She sighed, “No, I’m da’ ma-er! I tell people what to do!” A while back, I was telling the kindergarteners how it is so important for them to know their address. I began to model on the board what my written address looked like. When I got to Girdler, Kentucky I asked, “Class what comes next?” The students shouted, “Wildcats!!!!” I cracked up and thought, “… absolutely!” I’ve been telling my class that we have to be working super hard because I have to prepare them to go to first grade soon. One of my little boys said, “I’m gonna cry every Friday because I won’t get to see you at school this summer… and you know what else? My mom and dad are gonna cry because they aren’t gonna want to see me and my brother at home all summer!” Ever had an itch on your foot before? One of my kindergarteners had an itch on her foot. I looked over and she was scratching the bottom of her shoe! I said, “I don’t think that’s gonna help your itch any.” She said, “Well huh! Watch this!” She twisted her foot inside her shoe and said, “Ahhh now … all better!” … And that was that! It’s easy as pie Not everyone is a baker. Sometimes it’s just easier to buy a beautiful cake from the deli, slip off the store wrapping, and display it on a cake stand, hoping your guests are none the wiser. Come on, we all have done it, no one is judging. Often I plan an elaborate, highly decorative, and scrumptious dessert only to become overwhelmed or short on time and give up in frustration. Also, my second problem is I’m usually one ingredient short when trying to throw together a masterpiece. Sometimes, it’s as simple as finding Confessions of a Baking Queen Kristy Dean Cole there isn’t a single nut of any kind in the cupboard when a recipe calls for half a cup of chopped pecans. Typical. Yes, there are substitutions in most cases. Thankfully these little known gems are lifesavers when you lack an ingredient or need something that you don’t normally have on hand. For example, you can substitute butter, shortening, or oil for applesauce or pureed prunes, in some cases even pumpkin puree. Also, when short on sour cream, substitute plain non-fat yogurt in the same amount called for. When using a boxed chocolate cake, there are ways of enhancing it so it will taste homemade such as adding cola to the mix, instead of water in the same amount-it really works! Besides, when it comes to baking, your philosophy is similar to a magician, you can’t give all your secrets away!

A letter to my mom Dear Mom, You were there when I was born into this world (I had to come from somewhere), and you have been with me every day since. Life has its ups and downs but somehow you made the downs easier for me. I know that I do not say thank you’s nearly enough and I need to catch up on those. So here I am mom, telling you thank you for all that you have done for me and for everything else that you will do. Mom, I want to thank you for being there. You are the only person in my life to be consistent. You have been there since I was born and you have been there for me every day between then and now. You have fixed all of my boo-boos and nursed me back to health when I have been sick. You have been there to explain every awkward thing happening to my body while growing up. You have been there to help me with my homework, and still today I hit you up for your intelligence. You have held me while I cried over stupid boys, told me not to worry about them, and that they are just that -- stupid. I want to thank you for push- Thoughts of a College Girl Emily Wright, Guest Columnist ing me through my life so far. Pushing me to try harder, pushing me to do my very best, and pushing me to better myself each day. No one has been there to talk to me into always trying harder. When I do something, you are always there to tell me how great it was and to keep it up. You coached me through high school and now college. Always telling me that I need to go to class and to get off of Facebook. You are pushing me to better educate myself so that I can live a happy and comfortable life... or just so you can vacation in Florida at any time, haha. I want to thank you for raising me the way you did. You taught me that I have to work for things in life if I want them. You taught me not to be lazy (even though it’s really hard not to sleep in on some Mondays). You taught me to never give up, to keep going. You taught me that it is a bad day and not a bad life. You taught me to use my head and not my feelings. You taught me not to worry about what others are saying or thinking about me because they are obviously the ones who have the problem. You taught me to be strong. You taught me that I am not any better than anyone else and that everyone is equal. I want to thank you for raising me to be the person I am. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be where I am today. You have been the ultimate role model for not only myself but for others. Everyone who meets you, you leave them with a positive impact. You take time to learn and connect with people, and I can tell you that people do appreciate that and you.Thank you for being just an amazing woman with all you do. You show me exactly who I want to be when I grow up, and I want to thank you for being such a wonderful woman so that I could figure it out. Thank you for being you, Mom.
