Humble......

The last couple days I've been judging Floralculture at the 86th National FFA Convention. Today I was honored to meet Ana from New Mexico. Ana stood in line just like every other FFA member to begin the rotation of floral contest. Each team consist of four members and Ana waited with her team. We were told there would be a member that would have a shadow (an adult to assist if needed) with them through out the day.
Ana took her place at the design table and begin sorting her flowers. You see Ana is considered blind. She can see some things if they are very close to her eyes and with the help of special glasses. We all were amazed and humbled with Ana. Not letting this one small thing stop her from competing with her fellow FFA members. Some of us stopped what we were doing and watched Ana design her arrangement. Not one time did she ask for help from the shadow. It brought some of us to tears, what an inspiration Ana was to us.
   We complain every day about something, our list is endless. There we all were with almost perfect sight and as I said before-we were humbled.
