Sarah Badgers Through

I have a nickname for Sarah based on the Honey Badger. There is a video on Youtube about the Honey Badger. The Honey Badger is a bad-ass. He doesn't care about any kind of problem that he faces. He just goes ahead and gets whatever he wants. I call her Sarah Badger.

We were driving to Indiana to visit Barb's friend from Florida for the long weekend. It was a 12 hour drive. During the drive, Sarah was working on a poster for her summer job at the university. She had a moral quandary because she was supposed to show her experimental results. However, her experiment wasn't working and the methodology was not very well controlled.

I tried to help her while driving but I didn't know what to do. When we got to Indiana, Sarah was still working on her poster. She worked late into the night and then got up early in the morning and finished it up.  Then she emailed it to her supervisor at the university.

When she got back on Tuesday, she printed it out.  The competition was later in the week. The poster competition was for all of the undergraduate students who were working at the university. There were about 50 of them.

Sarah won third prize. I told her that it was great that she “badgered” through her problems and got what she wanted.
