So, congratulations to them :).
Today I wanted to give a shout out to a hero. I can't say his name for legal reasons, but in the short time I've known him he has been a great example, leader and someone who rarely gets down. --in fact the only time I have seen him get down on himself is when he was around people who he felt weren't happy and he was unable to help.
I admire his sense of acknowledgement and his awareness of the surroundings. He says thank you and you're welcome after every little thing you do for him. He genuinely thanks the cooks for the food they prepare him. He is the first one to go and help someone with a project or a duty, that quite frankly, others often complain about.
To me he shows an exemplary attitude of gratitude and an ability to look on the bright side of any situation.
The crazy thing to me about all of this, is the fact that he has been away from his family for a long time. Multiple years.
This kind of behavior is sought after by generations of people and often take a lifetime to master. And yet, it is portrayed in a young man so willingly.
This Saturday morning, I give a commendable shout out to my superhero this week. The one who calls me "The Ghetto Gorilla" (which I might just change the name of my blog to seeing as the one I have is too hard to pronounce and understand anyways) the outstanding example of what gratitude really is and stands for.
Also, a great Olympic ceremony last night and a shout out to the us Olympic team and my runner up preference of Spain. And to all the other athletes who are participating this year!! To many you are heroes as well!
I love the Olympics. I always can't wait until they start and get so excited when it is time to watch all the events. It is the best background noise for studying. And great for chips and dip and to watch all the records get broken. :)
