So this girl turned 17. Her choice of restaurants was Lux Thai with the family and her boyfriend and his mother.  Birthday tradition.
In the 17 years I've seen her do some amazing things such as work hard.  She started at age 11 being a soccer referee. Then became a hostess at a restaurant when she was 16.  Work her way to making salads and then QC and running food out to customers. I've seen her play soccer and dance. She has an amazing ability to be social no matter where she is or if she speaks the language. She can be stubborn but also determined. I am excited to see what she does in her life.
