I'm a Princess!

I've been 1st Attendant for about an hour now. I'm happy. I'm exhausted. I'm starving! We're stopping for pizza, but I never could have imagined how amazing our stop would be.

This little girl walked up to me and just stood staring up at me. Her dad apologized saying, "I'm sorry, she thinks you're a princess". So of course I smiled and looked down at her and said, "I am a princess. Would you like to try on my crown?" Her face just lit up! As I placed my crown on her head her parents were beside themselves. They looked stunned I would take the time to acknowledge her and commented on how happy she was. I knelt down and talked to her about being "a princess" and how important it is to go to school and learn to do lots of things, and to be a really great friend to everyone. Her dad (and my mom) snapped a photo so she could remember this day and then we said goodbye. As they were leaving I heard her say, "see dad, I told you she was a princess!"

As long as I live I will never forget the feeling I had at that moment. I am a role model. I will stand out. I FELT like a princess! It didn't matter how exhausted I was, in that little girls eyes I mattered right then.
