This morning Joy Mears made her speech as the only candidate for student-body president of Quisqueya Christian School and I (Rich) was impressed.
Even though she didn't really have to make a speech because nobody was running against her, she took the opportunity to connect with her classmates.
She was genuine, self-effacing, and clearly communicated her ideas.
When she said she had the support of her family, I cheered.
When she said she loved God, loved her school and loved being organized, I cried.
When she clearly communicated her vision for next year, including things like assessing current activities, including elementary, middle and upper school students in more activities to creat unity and suggesting that QCS have more traditions, I thought "She learned all of that without getting a Master's in Organizational Leadership!".
Carol and I just looked at each other afterward and rejoiced in how God is working in Joy! And Joy got an enthusiastic ovation from her classmates.
