When it comes to profiling prominent community members, I feel like I don't have the right nor the power to elevate ones superiority over anothers. It's such an arduous task and I wish I could include everyone and I feel kind of guilty pushing aside other people! Brainstorming, brainstorming, brainstorming. I guess when I first thought about it, Mrs. Richards came into my mind.
Tyler Richards died from a car accident my Freshman year. Walled Lake Northern High School had just opened, consisting of only freshmans and sophomores. We were two really close classes; a nice warm family that continued this tight bond until 2005. When Tyler died, I don't think an entire school has cried for one boy. It was devastating. After that, Mrs. Richards became really involved with our school. She was always at our high school, staying strong for her son.
I guess I would love to profile her, get to know more about her but I'm afraid to open old scars. Maybe I'll just keep on brainstorming.
