ADMIT ONE Jun 6, 2026
I truly wish I could have been there in person to read this to you and I'm truly sorry I couldn't be. With all our past, I know you thought this would be a roast, but that roast was done in England. Wink 😉 With that being said, I would like to remind you of some of your qualities that you may have forgotten about but have proven why you deserve this promotion more than anyone I know. Kindness & Strategic - Our first meeting was automatically red flags. We pretty much decided we disliked each other from that moment. Even with that, whether it was your kind heart, or because you had to, you still made sure I had everything I needed that morning and escorted me to our building safely. Sure, it was through some bobbed wires, but hey, we figured out how to get over them, I mean I am Mexican, hahahaha. Empathy & Comprehensive Mentorship- You were even kind enough, with a little annoyance, to show me how to use the wonderful HAPSITE and show me the ropes of Korea. I was no longer a green bean because of you. Perseverance - You never gave up on me, no matter what came our way, or how many times I fell, literally, or rolled down some church steps - upside down turtle. Sure, you laughed, but you always helped me up! The fun didn't stop there. Innovative Problem Solver - During our travels through Italy, we got 'lost'. That's in quotes cuz we realized in daylight our hotel was across the street. Anyways, we decided to take the scenic route back to the hotel, and you noticed a strange guy following us. You swiftly pulled me into a random hotel where you told the front desk the situation and they kept us there until it was all clear. If it wasn't for your quick thinking, who knows what could have happened. Expert Resource Manager - only you could figure out the cheapest way for us to travel to as many countries as we did, take in all the festivities, and book amazing hotels for us to shower in. Let's face it, we literally only stayed in them for less than a few hours each time! We have so many blurred memories, and I am so happy videoing every second wasn't a thing during that time. Force Protector - Why would anyone want to do CrossFit on purpose?!?! Only Brenda could make working out fun and exciting, and only she knew how to modify each workout. I still feel you had more fun at the Hash! There are tons of adventures and stories between the two of us that I wish I could say more. You have completely earned this moment, and I am so proud of you. If there was a way I could rejoin, knowing I could be under your leadership I would be in a heartbeat! I love you and Miss you tons!
