ASHLEY GRAY
If optimism was a person, it would be Ashley. She is the happiest, most positive person you'll ever meet! I remember once a few weeks ago when she had a day wherein everything seemed to go wrong and with every stroke of bad fortune she took a deep breath and said, "this is a great day. I'm so glad I'm going to have these memories to laugh at later." You simply cannot get her down and her positive attitude is absolutely contagious. Furthermore, her optimism should not be mistaken for naivete, for she is also keenly aware of obstacles and trials and is an incredible leader and hard worker when there's a job to be done. Her power of positivity lies not so much in ignoring bad things or pretending they don't exist, but rather in always choosing to make the best of them and be happy anyway.
Ashley is a Psychology major at BYU and, like myself, she has a wide field of interests and would either major or minor in just about everything if she could. She has been a valuable asset to many projects, including key leadership in working with the Belmopan orphanage we visited a few weeks back and in organizing many of the youth programs we've held. She also has worked with me on some of the brainstorming and design for the Rainforest Haven project, acting as the interior designer for the photos we shot at the resort when we stayed there a few weeks back. She also has on occasion accompanied me to Succotz to work with various individuals there on the revenue project and always has fantastic ideas and a superior work ethic when she comes along.
Ashley has a smile that could light up a room! Sounds like she has an inner light to match :D very neat!!!!!
