As in many GLOs, there are tons of famous Alumni to choose from to pick a fav. Some of mine would have to be the following ladies, and each has had a connection to me growing up.
Laura Bush~ Whether you like her husband or not, this First Lady is awesome, and is always standing up for important causes dear and near to my heart such as education!
Amy Grant~ I grew up in household that listened to mix of Christian, Country, Pop music. Amy Grant has always a family favorite. My parents have old records of her's dating back to the 80s, and I even have video tapes of my little sister and I running around the living room, singing and dancing to her songs!
Kerri Strug~ I don't know about you but in 1996 all I wanted to be was a gymnast. Even though this would have never worked out because I am tall, not fexible at all, it didn't matter because I saw Kerri Strug and the US Woman's Olympic Team bring home the Gold. I will never forget being a ten year old and begging my parents to let me stay up late so I could watch the end. I was so sad when Kerri hurt herself, but did the vault again regardless!!!!!! In the mind of a sleep- deprived ten-year old, I remember going to bed that night thinking that Kerri Strug was my hero!!!
I am honored that she is fellow Theta sister!
