"Anything but first is losing - and we are always winners"


You know that exhilarating rush of victory? The spinning in your head as the screams of celebration erupt from within you, your voice hoarse with the volume and power with which you choose to proclaim this good news. The beat of your heart, faster than a mile a minute, and the awakening thought in your head that slowly settles after the cheers die down.
We won.
It's one thing to win just because you're good at something. It's another story altogether when you know you worked yourself to the bone to achieve what you most wanted. To know that you gave of your all when it was needed, that you were a part of the cataclysmic force that swept to the finish line, the combined magnitude of heart, soul and strength that are greater than any gold medal, that is the true feeling of victory.
A victory that belongs to you.
