Winning isn't everything if it means your health is damaged. I learned this lesson the hard way. I was a runner, "was" being the operative word. I still can't really run without feeling discomfort and pain. I trained really hard in high school and considered running competitively in college until a serious injury crippled me in the fall of my junior year of high school.

Catching Up, and Then Something More Relevant
The past week has been very busy; I've had much to get done, and feel that I haven't accomplished much, no matter the extent of my hard work. One thing that I have accomplished, is another trophy waiting patiently in the case to be given to me when I graduate. I was awarded with second place for prose interpretation at the Speech and Academic meet on Saturday.

Then and Now: ProgressiveU and Scholarships
A blog entry I haven't pre-written or edited. Here goes nothing.
1st Place Win
This weekend my high school's German club and I went down to Austin, TX for the state German competition. There were 20 of us and we were all pumped up, and ready for the competition, an event we had not one a single award at for the past three years.
