As May comes to a close I need to take a minute to brag about this beautiful human. Balee, you are so kind and compassionate, and I am grateful to have gotten the chance to know you better.
Taking on an intern is an opportunity to teach work ethic and valuable life skills. It is, for me, a chance to watch character growth and to encourage independent and strong women into the world.
Thank you for sticking with me, as I know I can be an unconventional role model. I cannot wait to see you mature and blossom in the next chapter of your adventures.
Balee Austin, Senior Internship from Perry Central 2025-26.
Congratulations on your graduation, to you and the Class of 2026.
