New college graduate with honors–cum laude–and most outstanding student in your field. But your Humanitarian award best describes you.
You came to this world as a ray of sunshine. As a small child you picked yourself up from a skinned knee and still offered a smile. You grew to a smart, talented adult woman who invents new ways to make the world a better place for every life she touches.

Numbers exactly divisible by two are called even and those that leave a remainder of one when divided by two are called odd.
All numbers belong in one of these two groups.

Why are you my best friend?
You accept me. Instead of loving me in spite of my quirks, you love me because of them.
You cheer for me as I reach for my dreams.

One generates all the other numbers by successive additions of itself. One defines all the other numbers.
