Gotta give credit where it's due, and when a recent high school graduate goes the extra mile, the
Amarillo Globe News is there. Meet
Berkley Stone:
Stone recently graduated from Randall High School, where she helped plan and organize the United Way Youth Leadership Day. Their fund-raiser was Jell-O Jam. Senior students were given a week to raise money. The students raising the most money wrestled teachers in a pool of Jell-O.
That's right. High school girls organizing Jell-O rasslin'. But hey, it's for a good cause, right? Here's the funny part:
"There is an inner peace you feel when you see the children you've helped and knowing you've done something to help someone," she said.
Ah yes, the sublime, inner serenity that only comes from rolling around in Jell-O. Maybe
that's what my life is missing?
Here's to you, Berkley. I'm sure this is but the first of a long and intricate career that consists of you and Jell-O. . .
