Emma
Allen
Emma is the definition working hard humbly and quietly. I remember the first time we became close was when we just began talking after events. That's when I realized that she was one of the hardest workers ever, and not only did she never complain, she just kept moving forward. Emma is also a very fun person and she's always down for pointless adventures with our fellow ambassadors. I know that wherever Emma ends up and wherever she ends up, the people around her will be lucky to have such a positive and hard working person.
Makaila
Sloan
Makaila is one of the strongest people I know. Apart from this, she is one of the best people to go to. Not just when you're feeling down, but when you're
happy, excited, anxious, nervous, or if you just really need someone to talk to. She shines so bright and she doesn't realize how integral she is to other people's happiness. She's also very smart and although she tends to procrastinate, she is a very bright person. Whoever becomes her friend is a lucky person, and whatever team she is a part of will have gained a great team member.
Ludwing
Gonzales
Not sure where to start with this one because I can list of a hundred million things about how awesome my dude Ludwing is. Also known as "El Rey del Oro", Ludwing is a natural businessman. His charisma draws people in, and his professionalism always gets the point across in a funny, charming, but to the point manner. Not only is he all the above, he's a great friend and extremely loyal. He always hypes me up, and I never get a change to gas him up, but Ludwing if you're reading this, you're gonna leave a great mark on this world, and I have no doubt that I'll see you in the future. I hope we can work together again.
Gift
Mayambi
I don't think anyone has more of an appropriate first name than this guy. Gift is one of the most talented guys I know. Whether its piano, guitar, or percussion, this guy can do it all. Gift also has the ability to absorb any language and be able to effectively speak it after some time. Although this is the case, I've never met a bigger germaphobe than Gift Mayambi. In all seriousness, Gift is a great person and a great worker. Gift don't be afraid to take risks, you have what it takes.
Prerna
Ghandi
I'm not sure what the name Prerna means in Hindi, but my definition of that name is, "warrior". Prerna is one of the strongest people I know, and it shows in the way she carries herself. She is a natural born leader, and she has a great drive. In spite of the challenges that she faced in her early life, she has used that towards her motivation for success. She has already done so much, and will continue to do great things. Prerna, keep leading and being you. You're an inspiration to many people including myself. P.S. lets get some saag paneer soon :D
LiAnn
Seale
My fellow green and my awesome friend. I see LiAnn as a sister to me, sometimes even as an older sister just because of the mere fact that I look up to her. As a fellow green, I knew that we'd be on the same page on many things and not to my surprise we were for the most part. I've never met someone who can be so carefree and professional at the same time. LiAnn can go from being the silliest person in the room to Mrs. I take names and kick butt in 0.2 seconds and it's honestly the most impressive thing ever. LiAnn, you're doing awesome things and I know you'll continue to do so. Whoever works with you will be blessed to have such a great leader as a apart of their team.
Mackenzie
Cornell
The life of the party. You can always count on Kenzie to make everyone around her feel comfortable and let loose. Not only is Kenzie blessed with the ability to lead so positively, she also does everything in her life with passion. As my fellow scorpio, Kenzie and I have often related in how passionate we are about what we do. Her craft being video and mine being music and medicine. Kenzie pours her heart into her work and it is evident when you see the product. Kenzie, I know you'll continue putting smiles on everyone's faces. Your talents will be recognized someday soon and I wouldn't be surprised even a bit when it does happen. You're going to be on the big screen one day i know it!
Meghan
Ariss
Meghan Ariss is a natural born leader. Her level of professionalism is excellent, and she is no doubt going to be a great Orientation Coordinator and Ambassador Intern. She may not believe this statement but, Meghan has the ability to stay calm and think of a solution amidst a hectic situation. Not only is she a great worker and leader, Meghan is a great friend. Whenever she's around, there I know that I can confide in her. A trustworthy, and just overall awesome and positive friend, Meghan is truly a blessing. Megs, (I know you hate that nickname) you're going to lead people to do great and things and I know you will also do great things yourself.
Alex
Shook
Every time I think of how a man should carry themselves, I think of Alex. Alex is such a kind-hearted person, and is always someone you can share a great laugh with. Alex has continuously offered his place and space to all of us even accepting people he didn't know who were our friends. He always makes sure everyone has what they need, and tending to anyone who needs assistance. He's a great person and someone to look up to because of how he carries himself. Always professional and always willing to help. Alex, your'e going to be great wherever you end up because I know your ultimate motivation will be to help others. I'm happy to have met a great friend like yourself.
Tessa
Nelson
I'm not really sure if there's anything negative anyone could ever say about this girl. Tessa Nelson is one of the strongest people I know. What's special about Tessa's strength is, it uplifts people. Her strength is her positive outlook on life. I admire Tessa for the challenges she's faced, and truly rising above those obstacles and defining success in a whole new different way. Tessa is also extremely healthy and although it was a pleasure having her around, I always felt guilty stuffing pizzas in my face while she had something that was probably a lot better and healthier. All jokes aside though, Tess, you're an amazing person and you're going to do great wherever you end up, impacting everyone around you positively.
Charlotte
Horton
Charlotte is the definition of what it means to open up to the world to let their own light shine. Initially, Charlotte kept to herself and was wary of opening up. It didn't take long for Charlotte to feel comfortable and when she did, it was a pleasure seeing her and pepper's smiles. Charlotte is another natural leader and is very hardworking. Not only is this the case, Charlotte is also a fighter. Batting with her own challenges, Charlotte still defines success in her own way and is a great example for anyone who is battling with anything in their lives. Charlotte, I know you'll be a great lawyer one day, and I know you'll continue fight for what you know is right. For that, I am glad to have such a strong friend.
