Ben

"It always seems impossible until it's done." --Nelson Mandela

At the end of any era in life, you look back over it all with a bit of awe don't you think?  Struck suddenly by the realization that YOU. DID. IT.  Had you known what lay ahead at the beginning, the impossibility of it would have defeated you before you even started.  But not for this guy.  A testament to perseverance and hard work, Ben is one of the hardest working young people I've ever met...and he does it all with a smile that would melt your heart!  The world needs more beautiful souls like Ben and his wonderful mom, the lady who is the root of all that Ben is and will become.  Congratulations on getting to the high school finish line, track star!
