What a helpful and enterprising soul she is! Oba-san is just one more reason to admire the Japanese. Awesomeness. ^__^

Awesome! A very determined woman that have the passion to contribute something in the coming event.  

She personified the saying which goes "you can do anything you set your heart to"
