Day 16: Someone who inspires you

This has taken me over a week to finally figure out. Someone who inspires me I am related too. She is my 4th great grandmother and her name is Catherine Adams. She was a pioneer and crossed the plains in 1850 when she was 12. I found out about her when our trek leaders asked us to find one of our relatives that was a pioneer. In researching I found out about her and have discovered many interesting things about her. I have two books that I have found information in, one about her husband, Richard Pilling, and one about her father, Elias Adams. It has been an interesting and inspiring experience and I am sure trek will be fun and cool too.

That's a great answer.

SIDE NOTE: I just noticed that your blog is titled "My attempt at being social." I laughed out loud.

This is going to make me smile for a long time.
