Maximum Security

I am sure that everyone has at least seen some kind of movie that depicted a heist of something with an incomprehensible value. One of my personal favorites is any of the Oceans movies. (This also might tell a lot about our society that there are so many movies with robberies taking place?) Innumerable traps of unpredictable lasers, silent alarms with hidden trip wires, and decoys that are replicated with even the most minute details are set in place to thwart the experienced thieves.
Hawaii has at least one well kept gem. Sharisse. The test wasnt dodging lasers or tricking cameras but interviews with two gatekeepers/father figures. To clarify, Sharisse did not instigate either of these. They took it upon themselves. There was no intimidation tactics used of course, just plain ole soul searching questions. My verbal agility proved to be up to snuff cuz I made it to the actual one-on-one conversation.
Sharisse is an exceptionally thoughtful person. Thoughtful as to the learning opportunities available to her and the effect she chooses for them to have on her. Thoughtful as to giving her attention to those who never even directly ask for it. Thoughtful as to children and the little wonders that they are. Thoughtful as to how her decisions will effect those she loves. And in my opinion the most important, thoughtful to Heavenly Fathers desire for her life and her service to others. There is no doubt in my mind our personal worth increases as we point out the worth of others. I find it funny to think that in the eternal skeem of things, we're all of infinite worth and those that recognize this most are not to be put in maximum security, but maximum access. Thank you so much for your time and lessons taught Sharisse!
