Brandi

I am not sure where to even start with this girl but I want to make sure i document what has taken place with her over this last year.

Brandi graduated with her Undergrad and is moving forward to attain her Doctorate in Physical Therapy. She went to work assitsting Physical Therapists as a type of intern in Fredericksburg.

As part of her duties, she was assigned a task to search out vendors to replace the physical therapy equipment. It was a simple task to just get the information of the vendors available and their prices. Her, being the overachiever she is, went above and beyond and found all the vendors, gathered all their information, the stats, the service plans, the prices, the contact person... EVERYTHING....She put them in binders with covers and then created a presentation to give to the bosses and the CEO.

The CEO was so impresed that he thanked her personally. As a result of her efforts, a contriutor gave a huge check to the organization to attain the physical therapy equipment....The CEO was so impressed with Brandi, that he took her to the acceptance ceremony and let HER accept the donation check....SUCH a proud moment for her and for us...She is one hell of a young woman!

She has two young boys, does it all on her own, asks us for very little help and just continuosly DRIVES FORWARD to make life happen on HER terms...She is an AMAZING young woman!

She started to apply for graduate schools and in her efforts for that, the CEO of her organization gave her a letter of reccomendation...In that letter of reccomendation, he stated that upon her graduation from PT school, he would have a job waiting on her....Again, she hits it out of the park!

She turns in her application for Graduate School with Texas State and was dissapointed to find out that she did not have a GPA in science that was high enough for their standards....she had a 3.2 and they wanted a 3.5 GPA....So they denied her application and she was really upset about it. She came to talk to me and I told her that it was simple....Texas State just isnt the school for her!

The next day she was contacted by her COO of the organization she works for and he told her he wanted to have her GRE test score and her grades from Undergrad. Come to find out, the COO has connections at University of Texas and is starting the efforts to use his contacts to get Brandi into school there. Once again, my chest pops out full of pride for what brandi has stepped up and done with her life...So very cool!!

When the COO met with her, he told her that he didnt want financial probems to stop her from applying for school as the application fee is 125.00. He explained that he had gone around to all of the other employees and that all contributed to Brandi to raise the money for her application fee....The girl is just an inspiration!! From where she has come from to where she is now is amazing...Where she will go is limitless!!
