SENIOR SESSION: Melina

When I first met her, I felt like I had met my niece's doppelganger...

does anyone else have those moments of seeing people and thinking they remind you someone else?  It could be the hair or the smile or mannerisms...

I had a lady last night come up to introduce herself...and for weeks, we'd see each other at church and could not, for the life of us, figure out from where we knew each other...

come to find out...she was my daughter's bus drive a long time ago...I laughed because I told her, "oh man, you've seen me in my pajamas!!!"

Melina is just as sweet as my niece (if I do say so myself) and perhaps that's what drew me to her.  Yes, she has the same coloring, long hair, and plays soccer just like my niece, (infact, I get to see them challenge each other at Tuesday's game) but, it was that smile and playful innocence that gets me every time...

I've met the most amazing Seniors from the Class of 2018 and Melina is as wonderful as they come!  She's focused, strong and confident, but she's also humble, playful and pretty chill!

We had a wonderful time together and I even got to visit some of her favorite areas to run...just another element to her "story"!

Congrats Melina!
