After my speech, I was greeted with a “great job” by her. Although the conversation was brief, she shared with me the ad- vice to always remain a leader, have strength in all that I do, never let anyone get in the way of my dreams, and to always remember to help those coming behind me. Those words I will never forget and I am reminded each day with this quote by her, “When you’ve worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you, you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed.” Kalauna R.
