I met Herman Boon Today

He talked at my school.  Yeah, that Coach Boone. Not Denzel Washington, the real thing.  I had to go for extra credit in a course but I'm so glad I did and wish I would have wanted to anyway - so in short I'm glad I went!   He spoke with such sincerity and belief that we were all at USD for a reason, and it was pretty inspiring.  Some advice he gave that I'd like to pass on: have a plan for the future because we are the future.   But, plan your way.  I think that means to be ready and have a goal but also be flexible because as youth sometimes we either get too flimsy with our values/goals; conversely, we will squander our energy if we just spend all our time towards that one goal to the point where we stress ourselves out.

Have a great evening!
