Post 5 A person who has made a difference

Each one of us can think of at least one person who has made a difference in our lives. As we enter each new chapter of our lives, new role models appear to help shape the new chapter that we are beginning. The people that I admire most are those who go out of their way to make a difference. These teachers are a huge part of our lives because they have lead us to become the individuals that we are today.

A person that has already made a difference in my life is my golf coach Stacy Graham. Stacy is an amazing young woman that caught my attention from the moment that I met her. Her passion for her job can be seen by anyone around her. I admire her most for her ability to balance a career, coaching, and her family.

Coaching golf is a second job for Stacy. By day she is an accountant, by evening she is the Nebraska Wesleyan Woman’s Golf Coach. In only a short time, Stacy has become a huge part of my life. I am eager to go to practice everyday because I know I will see her. She always brings a happy and enthusiastic attitude with her to practice.

Stacy is a very calm person. I have observed that Stacy has the ability to sit back and observe a situation, and then jump in where help is needed. She is more than willing to take extra time to help a certain individual who might be struggling with their game. She has a way of calming a girl down when she becomes frustrated or discouraged during a tournament. Her positive and encouraging thoughts have helped me numerous times.

Stacy has taught me so many things in such a short amount of time. She has taught me to be more flexible with everything that goes on in my hectic schedule. She is more than willing to work with you if you aren’t able to make it to a practice. She understands the importance of our schoolwork and other activities that we are involved in. Stacy has taught me the gift of patience. I have learned to slow things down and take my time. I have definitely noticed an improvement in my swing after learning to take my time. The most important thing that Stacy teaches all the girls on the team is to relax and have fun. There is no reason at all to become upset over one bad round. Stacy is an all around positive person who inspires me to do my best each and every day.
