Race for Time

It was forecasting rain...

If you ever try to schedule with a Senior, at the beginning of the school year...you'll know that you're running into "craziness"...

If they don't already have enough on their plate, they're now trying to cram in as many wardrobe changes and locations, in order to showcase their personality...all this before evening sports practice and cramming for tests...

This gal has a natural beauty that, amidst the chaos, she just shines...

We were jumping out of our cars on the side of the road as we spotted fields and she grabbed an umbrella in the rain...she was making the most of whatever situation was handed to her...

Many get overwhelmed and quit...some get angry and start a blame game...others are sad & feel as though all the odds are against them...all this when something doesn't go as planned...

Not her...

She's the "making lemonade" kinda gal...

It's her sweet spirit and "rise above" mentality that gives her confidence in any circumstance...the gift of knowing that no matter what, even if things don't go as planned, it's not going to thwart WHO she is...

and WHO she is...well, it's beautiful...inside and out!
