I would like to
nominate Zach Vanek for Ragan’s Wall because I feel that he is the perfect
candidate. Zach has been a part of my life for nearly three years and I know
him better than anyone. Zach lost his brother Nate this August in an auto
accident. Through the initial shock and grieving, he was the rock for his
family and his community. Despite his pain, he spoke on the news, talked to the
newspaper, handled his football team through the entire season as their
captain. While he should have been taking care of himself, he was only thinking
about the well-being of those around him. He comforted his family, friends, and
even people he didn’t know. Zach is an older brother to three boys. Everything
that he does in his life is keeping their best interest in mind. He is their
role model and they are his number one fans. Zach has spent a large portion of
his life caring for his brothers while his mom was sick and his dad was always
working. Through it all, he never complained because he knows what
unconditional love is. Most people don’t know how much he’s been through
because he is so strong inside and so selfless. I admire Zach for the person he
is. He is an amazing person and he deserves to be recognized for all of his
accomplishments in life. Those are just a few of the reasons that I would like
to nominate Zach Vanek for Ragan’s Wall.
