Bailey’s Story: The Woman I Admire Most
Admired by Bailey
I admire my mom! She’s one of those people who would do absolutely anything for the people she loves no hesitation, no questions asked. She’s kind, thoughtful, and just has the biggest heart. She’s also an incredible teacher – so passionate about her students and always going the extra mile to make a difference in their lives. She truly cares and pours so much into what she does.
I’ve always looked up to her, not just because of how she shows up for others, but because she’s truly my best friend. I can talk to her about anything and everything! Watching her live with so much love and purpose has shaped who I am more.
Dr. Temple Grandin: A Trailblazer in Science and Advocacy
Admired by Kayla
Dr. Temple Grandin is truly an inspiration to me. Not only did she invent a low-stress method of moving cattle that is extremely effective, but she is also a keynote speaker at events across the country. She is a woman in a field where being a woman usually hinders a career and that’s not even the most impressive part. She does all of this while managing her autism.
Her story reminds us that no barrier is too great when you lead with brilliance, innovation, and heart.

This is my sister Courtney. She’s taught me that anything I set my mind to, I can achieve—and she’s always been one of my biggest supporters. Courtney has worked tirelessly the last few years as a baker and is finally opening the doors to her dream bakery!
Her dedication, creativity, and determination inspire me every day.
