Lindsey Vonn Propels Superstardom After Taking 16-Year-Old to Homecoming Dance

If you don’t know who Lindsey Vonn is yet, give it time because she is making quite the name for herself.

With Vonn attending a function at a Colorado school, a young student named Parker McDonald mustered up enough courage to ask the skiing phenom to his dance on Saturday night.

While most people would be nervous to talk to a celebrity, McDonald had the courage to ask Vonn to attend the dance with him and to his surprise, she accepted.

Vonn said on her facebook page about being asked to the dance:

"

Yesterday I visited the Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy and while I was eating lunch with all the students a 16 year old boy named Parker asked me if I would be his date for their homecoming dance, which is tonight. When Parker asked me he was cute, nervous and very polite so of course I said YES! :) All through school growing up I never got the chance to go to a school dance so I'm excited for tonight!

"

This story shows that while this world can be the absolute worst at times, there are still traces of dignity and class in people.

This kid just had his life made amazing by the kindness of Vonn, and if you think he won’t be the most popular kid at the dance you are sadly mistaken.

Maybe after the dance, Vonn can drive McDonald and his friends home and hang out with them for awhile, or is that too much to ask?
