Most Inspiring

The Becars are one of those families from 11th ward that I am destined to be tied to forever because we knew each other since nursery. My favorite Becar (though they are all stellar) is Amy Becar! She has one of the most distinct souls in the world, and is happy about it.

A- Authentic. One of Amy's greatest qualities is she will never ever wear a facade and what you see is what you get and 100% of the time you will like it simply becuase it is so REAL.

M- Musically on top of the world. Amy was the ward organist and played all the time for stake events (can you say daunting!?) with perfection. She also played at least 3 of the 5 days in seminary. I think she even played the flute?

Y- Young at heart. If you want to see submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Father seeth fit to inflict upon her, see Amy Becar. Besides all that childlikeness, she is always ready for fun.



B-Brilliant! Seriously, talk about intelligence. Amy's got it.

E- Eccentric. This spotlight wouldn't be complete without it. I don't think I've ever met anyone quite like Amy, including her sense of humor, which is admittedly quite odd, but it is one of those shining components that makes Amy so loveable and Amyish! One time we were talking about having to go to the bathroom on top of Pikes Peak and she mentioned the threat of bystanding marmots? hahahah it was so funny.

C- Christlike. Amy is one of the most humble people I know. She is always subservient and kind, willing to do things for others, and happy to help with a smile. No assignment will go unaccomplished when given to Amy.

A-AWE-INSPIRING. Amy joined the cross country team my junior year and though I was nothing but excited, in the back of my mind I hoped that she would make it ok. Make it ok? Psssh! Amy rocked EVERY practice and EVERY meet, always finishing strong and giving it her all. She completed a half marathon and inspired me to do so (which changed my life, thank you, Amy!) She became something of a mascot for our team because she inspired all of us to just keep going and working hard and giving our best to the very end. She still runs like a maniac and I am inspired to do better every time I think of her.

R-Righteous. In two senses. Yes, she is a faithful member of the church with a strong testimony and firm belief and understanding of the Savior and her relationship with him. And yes, she is laid back and chill like the turtles on Finding Nemo- "Righteous!"

Nothing could be better! Amy's enduring nature nurtures endearing affection I have for her becuase she is one of a kind. If you don't know Amy, go out of your way to do so. She will teach you the most important lessons about giving nothing less than your very best and doing so with a smile and some quirky joke on the side.
