Josie Stewart - People's Choice Winner
1.If you could make one rule that everyone in the world had to follow, what would it be?
Wonder Woman is my favorite fictional superhero! She is a powerful, strong willed character that refuses to back down from a challenge. I love challenging myself because overcoming obstacles is my strength. Dealing with my rescue animals, I face situations that seem impossible. I put on my cape and conquer the situation. I’ve been able to make a difference and meet my challenges with my Everyday Animal Rescue as Wonder Woman would in her mission.
2.If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
A true friend is who you can rely on under any circumstance and adores you just the way you are. I fill various roles, anywhere from being a ranch girl, model, church attendee, homeschooler, lake goer who is around animals all the time and my friends love me in whatever role I play. I call out my friends in an animal crisis and they are always there to help. That is a true friend!
3.When do you feel a child or teen becomes an adult?
I have learned to handle criticism constructively. I invite criticism as a learning tool. I listen to what’s being said and don’t become defensive or take it personally. I am positive by nature and respond to feedback appropriately. I find myself able to evaluate feedback from the other person’s point of view and use the criticism as a learning experience. How I am able to handle criticism is one of the strengths of my character.
4.What do you feel you have learned in life that will be the most useful?
My new experience I really enjoyed was learning to water ski at Lake Powell, Utah in 680 feet deep water. I usually snow ski. I was fortunate to have our boat driver, who was a water ski instructor, teach me in one try. It was exuberating skiing so close to the red cliffs and so much beauty. I absolutely fell in love. I was successful in no time and haven’t quit skiing since.
5.What do you feel is the hardest job in the world and why?
Crying is a sign of strength. I have become tough skinned through critical animal situations that I have faced that crying doesn’t happen all that often anymore. I realize I was blessed to have had an opportunity to have helped them. I will testify a good cry can feel good to just let the load off. Recently I had tears when I saw that I made the top 1% in the nation for grades.
