Robin asked us to share inspiring favorite words that other people had spoken. As I rolled through ideas in my head, my   1  kept returning to an event from my youth.

       The words spoken were not  2  in their delivery. The person who received them wasn’t me. And, the life-changing event  3  to someone else. But I remember it very well. My friend Evonne was a skinny little girl. We weren’t best friends, but we were  4  . We  5  a classroom every year from 2nd through 8th grade. High school got us into other groups of fellow students and we kept up our friendship  6  . But then the   7  happened during our senior year that changed her life 8  .

       Mrs. Lee was Evonne’s and my senior advisor. I don’t remember one word the woman spoke to me during consulting. However, I do remember what she said to Zevonne. On one particular day, Evonne, the teary-eyed 17-year old girl  9 Mrs. Lee’s office. She cried, “She might as well have told me I was  10  . She told me ‘You are not college material.’ Can you believe she said that?” Evonne  11  . Then the still tiny, but determined young woman made a brave  12 . “I’ll show her!” …and then she  13  !
