I have a set of values that are exceptionally important in how I choose to live and grow in my life. At the very top of this set, I have found that the following three seem most relevant in my life: a sense of unity and community, strong relationships and family involvement, and the practice of altruism. A member of our community that displays these values and inspires me to build on these values is Mona Hjerpe. Mona is extremely present in the town of Hutchinson and does a great deal of work helping those with developmental disabilities; an area where I have also developed a strong passion. The values listed above help Mona with leading those with developmental disabilities in activities that will help them serve their community. Mona
