Fan Friday: Jesse Santangelo

AKA "Santangelo! Santangelo! Santangelo!"

Jesse,

This morning I was remembering back to Remnant birthday last year when you shared your testimony. Looking back to where you were then to where you are now has been so amazing to see. I don't think you realize that the growth you have experienced isn't something that just happens, it takes work. It's takes work that you have been willing to put in because you realized that God has more for you.

It doesn't take but one conversation with you to know that you are something different, someone special. I am honored and privileged to have you as part of the team. Knowing that you support myself and our team where ever we go, and whatever we do means a lot to me. Your leadership abilities have risen and so has your influence. Always remember "with great power comes great responsibility". In the role that you are in you have been given great responsibility. Not only to be leading yourself to higher ground, but now you have a team of people that are there to follow your lead.

Continue pushing yourself to grow and better yourself. I'll be here along the way to be your loudest encourager. Always know that I am proud of who you are and who you continue to become. Being a great leader doesn't mean you need to be perfect, but it does mean that you do your best to set the tone and example. Remember that you are constantly being watched, not so others can catch you doing something wrong, but so that others know how to be.

I start thinking about where you will be in five years, ten years, etc. I don't know exactly where you will end up, but I know that you will be successful at whatever you put your mind to. You are one of the most intelligent students I know, don't let your talents and giftings sit and get dusty. Keep seeking after Him and He will direct your path. No matter what, follow your heart. Follow after the dreams and desires He has placed in you.

Thank you for always bringing your joyful smile and attitude to Remnant J. High. I always love seeing you front row!

P.S. I bet they never thought you would get "Fan Friday". You know what you tell them? Never say never ;)
