It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful. —Brother David Steindl-Rast To Sarah Chabinak for taking a chance on me. Even when the emails and concerns about a guy going off the beaten path were piling up, you were brave enough to trust that I was doing my best. To Mitchell Ober for being genuinely invested in my success for over 15 years. Even when youve had to hold my feet to the fire, you kept pouring time and energy into my dreams of being where I am today. To Vonn Goolsby for showing up and doing the impossible. I would have never been able to attend a single PBL conference without you thanklessly filing papers and pushing for support. Even when you had to work countless hours, you never stopped searching for a way to fuel my success. To Lisa Hopkins for the way you knew exactly what to say to make PBL an opportunity I couldnt pass up. Even when there definitely were better candidates, you believed I could win. To Kevin Cox for being the voice of truth for me this year. When I doubted myself and felt defeated, you reminded me that my impact is greater than my stumble. To Brandi Black for literally saving me from quitting PBL. When I felt broken and unwanted, you showed me that there are people across America who depend on me to lead with courage. To Morgan Melot for showing me that I can only get out of the experience what I put into the experience. You always help me see the positive take-away from every situation. To Katie Clark for giving me someone to chase. Your example of leadership and our friendship is on the top of my list of benefits that Ive received from being a part of Phi Beta Lambda. Because of you, Im better.
