Congratulations to Sam Hong who just graduated High School!!! Sam is an awesome guy and one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Always willing to help and always there for people and one of the most spiritual people I know. He's 18 years old and graduated as Salutatorian of his High School class with a GPA of 3.95. Salutatorian is right below Valedictorian and out of 500 students, that's not bad!
In his speech at Rosemont High, he spoke for about 15 minutes thanking God for everything he has brought him through. During our summer school program here at the church, Sam volunteered to help out because he had to earn credits for a project in order to graduate. There was only one problem......He didn't have a car. He would get up every morning and ride his bike back and forth to the church 26 miles EVERY day, 5 days a week. Talk about sacrifice. When he was talking about this, I was thinking...we complain sometimes when we have to go outside and get the paper.
In his speech it was awesome because every time he would talk about God, you would hear people starting to clap and cheer. Usually people are to scared to do anything when it comes to God at a graduation. Usually they wont let you talk about him at all!
It was truly inspiring and I count him as a true friend. Thanks Sam for being an inspiration.
