Friends,
Lauren Hill is a Freshman in College. Her love is basketball, life, and people. It is obvious when you see her, listen to her words, and watch her actions.
Lauren Hill has a brain tumor the size of a lemon that is growing daily. Her life expectancy is two weeks as of today, Monday, 27 October.
She can no longer do the drills, but she keeps trying. She can not longer run as fast as the other girls but she keeps trying.
Her one dream is to play one game of college basketball which is next week. Her only tears are shed when she realizes how much love people around the United States have for her and her research charity.
Lauren Hill is a giver; not a taker. Her life centers around being everything you can while it is possible.
She does not sit around asking "what is in it for me?" She plays with a staggering stride and uncoordinated hands and she is giving all she has; making whatever sacrifices need to be made.
Lauren reminds me of the people of Salado. Giving their best. The people of Salado are not dumb, ignorant, or stupid. They are smart, intelligent, and giving.
Believe it -- Salado people are special.
