The Ring
Tonight was one of the greatest nights ever. I got my ring. It says "Semper Honorablus". It means Always Honorable. We have been prepairing and having classes for one week about Valor, Integrity, Relationships, Dicipline, Wisdom, and Vision and how they are the companents of Honor. And lots scriptures to back it up. I commit from this day forth to a lifestyle of integrity. I am not accountable only to myself any more. I represent the Honor Academy and all of the other interns and alumni. I am now in a family of belivers who commit to live a lifestyle of Honor as all Christians should. What I do reflects upon thousands of others who are also in this familly from the Honor Academy. Tonight was also the night they give awards to interns in the January class who are leaving in December. my roommate, Jay Young, was a Saber Bearer and my sister, Rachel Stamps, was a Flame Carrier. Only 4 guys and four girls from their class get these positions, and the interns vote to place them there. I am so proud of them. BUT WAIT! That's not all! Then they called up the 5 female, January class interns and 5 male January class interns who were nominated for the Directors Award, the most prestegious, honorable award in the Honor Academy that only one intern from each class can get. Jay Young and Rachel Stamps were nominated for those. The leaders of the Honor Academy chose those people. They went up front and everyone cheered. The Rachel didn't get the award but she is still the most awesome woman of God I have ever met in my life. Then Jay Young, MY ROOM MATE, won the Directors Award. Dave Hasz, the Director of the Honor Academy, anounced that Jay had won and my Core went crazy. I love Jay so much. He has pushed me so far and chalenged me so much. So, Jay and Rachel deserved there moment of praise because they are the two most amazing people of God I have ever met! And I HAVE MY RING! And Shirl came to see me and went to the banquet and everything. And I got these letters from everyone in my family, the each wrote me a letter, and I started to cry. Thank you Trev, and Trace if you ever read this.
