What color is this dress? If you’re on social media, you’ve likely seen this in the past 24 hours.
Some will see this dress as white and gold. Others will see it blue and black. Even identical twins are seeing the colors differently!
While this is fun to see how your family and friends see the same image so differently (I encourage you to do so!), it leads to the bigger question of how we all see the world so differently. The same image, the same situation, yet two different views. How often does this happen in our lives, whether at work or home or in issues of the world? It’s a good reminder that our worldview is not the only one, and listening and learning from others brings even more color into our lives.
Do you see the dress as White and gold, or blue and black???

A little different this week, I am going to highlight a student at Buffalo Grove that won the Arlington Heights Young Champion Heart of Gold, Emily Davidson! Emily is a senior at BG, and is so incredibly deserving of this award. Here is the write-up from the Heart of Gold banquet last weekend:
“In a time when the future of our world concerns us, young leaders like Emily Davidson, recipient of the 2015 Young Champion Heart of Gold, rose up to demonstrate we have no worries. Born and raised in Arlington Heights, Emily’s journey started, for this evening’s recognition, as a freshman at Buffalo Grove High School. It’s there she joined Interact, a Rotary-sponsored club for young people. These students tackled community issues such as: volunteering with the Northwest Special Recreation Association, NSWRA, working with disabled children and assisting “A-OK” where Emily helped with yard work at the homes of disabled elderly. Emily eventually, once a Junior, was elected as an officer in the club. She also received the prestigious Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) in 2014. Here she worked at a camp – building leadership, communication and problem solving skills. Other endeavors include; tutoring at local schools, participating in annual food drives at local temples, and spearheading an annual coat drive at her high school Lastly, as the current Editor-in-Chief of her school newspaper, “The Charger,” Emily was instrumental in launching the paper’s website this past year.
All of these experiences come together when Emily studies International Business. That is, once she’s chosen a college to attend. No surprise here, wherever that school is and wherever she lands, our world is in good hands.”
CONGRATULATIONS EMILY!!
