Dream Team

This was originally supposed to have been on the groupme but I spared your smartphones.-
Dream Team, just got back from the other side of the Brazos. Had a great time with family and resting. (Graham- this may be a little long.) It has been one of the greatest pleasures of my time at A&M and life to have worked with each of you on this campaign. I admire your character, passion, smarts, service, and work ethic. We pulled of something incredible- I consider this to have been an epic comeback. At the beginning of the week we were tied or down (attachment), however true to tradition we responded tremendously and ended with a landslide victory. We had two goals from the beginning- 1. Glorify God 2. Win BIG (reference first meeting agenda), we did both by being the hardest working, most personal campaign by far. That success is a tribute to each of you and our extended team. We also enjoyed this process (major understatement) and did trust in the Lord with the results, and He was very faithful.
I personally am very sad this is over. # got the group just need a cause. But we do have a new task ahead of us to-"support Reid in order to make these initiatives a reality." Texas A&M’s SGA is great but can be better namely by Reid having a good relationship with student senate to get past pride and games to make things happen. I know he can do it and has the potential to be one of the greatest SBPs in Aggie history, a sort of Mark Gold legend and we are all 'blessed' to be a part of it. Yet it's not about Reid or us (it's about the students, haha jk, I'm a hypocrite) it's is about God getting glory for our 'good works,' maintaining and enhancing A&Ms tradition and spirit and continuing to develop leaders. We will do this by promoting our pillars- Unity, Tradition, and Service.
Reid's vision for A&M is BIG but if you've been listening from the beginning it has been about our great nation as well. “Let future generations understand the burdens and blessings of freedom, let them say we stood where duty required us to stand” -George H.W. Bush. Reid transferred not changed who he was, both character and cause, from Southwestern to SBP. His goal through SW was to develop great Aggie leadership for a world that is so severely lacking. This is a huge and ambitious endeavor but it can happen little by little and it starts right here at A&M with things like Build 2013. Not every day do we come across opportunities like this. "WE CAN'T STOP.” I could go on about how much I think and am thankful for you but have PT at zero-five-thirty. Motivating. I think I will go to only half of my classes tomorrow as a kind of campaign rehab. In all seriousness I love you guys and am honored and humbled to have been on the Dream Team with you. Thank you for who you are and everything you have done for A&M, Reid and many others. Look forward to spending time together soon! Gig the Academics. Psalm 24.
