Blastoff!

Dear Ashley:

It's finally time! I know you are getting ready to leave this weekend. I just want to tell you how proud I am of you for all that you have done, and all of the hard work you are putting forth. TIRR is an amazing place, and you, are an amazing woman! They are going to work you hard, but you are no stranger to the pursuit of excellence. All of the training you ever did for athletics in school is going to help you in the next few weeks. Just remember to leave "frustration" at home and any attitude of "I Can't." There is no place for either of those at TIRR. You must take your winning attitude and drive to succeed with you, and you will do awesome! Make no mistake, they are going to push you to work as hard as you can, but you just smile back in their face and show them what you are made of!

As you pack up to leave this weekend, just know that we will be thinking about you here at home while you are gone. All of your family and friends will be praying for you and we can't wait to see the pictures and hear of the wonderful things that you learn to do! Remember to tell everyone that you are a friend of John Keller's!

Your a winner, Ashley! In everything that you do! Proud of you sweetie! Go get 'em!

Love,
Patti
