In 1777, in the dark of night, a sixteen-year old Sybil Ludington mounted her horse, Star, and raced furiously across forty miles of rocky terrain to warn her community of an imminent threat.
It was the time of the Revolutionary War when British citizens were fighting tooth and nail for the place I now call home—the United States of America. Sybil, the age of a high schooler, travelled a distance significantly farther than that of Paul Revere to alert militia forces of the British army’s approach.

Notes from The Square Deal Inbox: One Customer’s Heartwarming Story

It was a new experience for our family, having a third birthday for Amos at Wendy's. Our family historically has birthday parties at home, where a multitude of kids and entire families spill into our neighboring parking lot, and chaos breeds happy little people. Amos is an enigma though. He may adore his own family, but he doesn't naturally gravitate towards his peers and he doesn't love a crowd like the rest of us. As much as I longed to have a party, deep down I knew it would only be for me.
