My Hero

I had the pleasure of walking in the Home Town Hero Parade at the San Diego Fair yesterday to honor people in our community who make a difference. It was a fun event and one special because my mom, Judy Lewis - Logue, was one of the honorees.

My mom was honored because she makes a difference in peoples lives. She was one of the original college financial aid pioneers in the 60's and has been at it for 40 plus years ever since.  She works for the University of San Diego as their director of Financial Aid but spends her nights and weekends raising money, sitting on boards and networking so that first generation students have the opportunity to get an education just like she did in the 60's.

My mom is truly an amazing person. She is a living example of a pay it forward mentality. After getting her own push from a teacher passionate about getting kids into college she has made it her life mission to do the same for others. Anyone who has ever met her can feel her enthusiasm for life and the passion she has for helping others.  

Mom, here is to you and all that you do. I couldn't be more proud of you for both what you do for others and everything you did for us growing up. 

You are my hero.

Love,

Ed
