My Story:
There are many reasons to be grateful in this world. In I have been blessed with gifts and talents which have enabled me to embrace my potential and to make the most of every opportunity. I am grateful for personal attributes and opportunities which allow me to excel because I know there are several others who deserve the glory but are held back by unfortunate circumstances. In consequence, I strive to communicate my passion for life to every person I encounter. I aim to help every single person rise to their potential. I believe that every person we meet has a significant impact on our lives. We must use what we are given to lift each other up, only then can we say we stand for glory. And what better way to demonstrate this glory than sporting a milk mustache in the honor of fellow deserving humans in need?!
good luck jenny! you deserve it, and everything else in life that you accomplish!

Very well done, It is refreshing to someone who has a personal energy and a positive outlook on life, we need more young folks like Jennifer, especially when we see more and more folks sitting down with their hand out who have no initiative and no plan for the future.
Jun. 22, 2012 at 11:32 amKeeping healthy and well nourished ensure a vital brain and body capacity which will enable you to succeed in all you choose to do.
I certainly hope that everyone seeing this realizes that Jennifer is a voice for our American Spirit and the foundation for our future.
Best of luck, Jenny. You got a great charity to support. Continued success in school and all you do.
