Sylvia Hurlburt: Queen of the Universe
Sylvia Hurlburt is better than you and me, but she probably won’t admit it.
The Coupeville High School junior, who celebrates a birthday today, can pretty much do just about everything there is to do in this world, and do it all extremely well.
Dancer, tap and ballet and everything in between.
Speed demon track star.
Energizer Rabbit cheerleader with more pep than is humanly possible.
Intrepid photographer with an uncanny eye for detail.
The list goes on and on, and we’d be here all week (and maybe beyond) if we listed all her talents and accomplishments.
Not that she herself would take that time, because her greatest talent is this — Sylvia remains as easy-going, approachable, super-friendly and modest-about-her-own-awesomeness as any young woman you are likely to encounter.
If there’s an out of control ego raging away in there, she hides it really, really well.
So, it is up to us to frequently remind the world of how amazing Miss Hurlburt is on a daily basis.
To honor her for the way she dotes on her older brother, Larry, her parents, Kristin and Troy, and the trillions of friends she holds dear.
The way she brightens the world every time she steps out into it, a walkin’, talkin’ burst of happy radiance.
There is no artifice to Sylvia.
She is the real deal, a genuinely sweet, caring, smart as all get out superstar blazing a bright, burning trail across the universe on a daily basis.
She is going places, on her way to doing great things.
That we get to share a slice of her life, to witness her growth, is a treat.
May this day, and every day, be full of joy for her. Perfect karmic payback for a life lived well.
