Ellington

Someone who demonstrates characteristics of high personal character and integrity, perhaps using this strength of character to be resilient in the face of extenuating family circumstances, or in overcoming significant obstacles.
Or a guy or gal with an extraordinary talent.
Or someone that is a leader in their school, church or community.
If so, we'd love to hear about them!
