The Asian Games

As we reflect our times past, a friend likens the Asian high school experience to that of the Olympic games. The competition, the expectations, and the fact that once you've stopped the routine, it is infinitely hard to get back on track. I found great humor in this comparison, so I decided to capitalize on it.

Do what you love and love what you do. We each hold a bubbling stream of ambitions and visions, so work hard for that competency in what you aspire.
(P.S. Respect for the athletes.)
