He manifested this moment when he wrote in his journal 5 years ago that he would play football at Stanford. I am so proud of his discipline in the classroom and football field. My son is going to Stanford!!! Let’s go!!!

Of the hundreds of thousands that hate the USA, I wonder how many of them have actually lived (2+ years) outside the USA. I guarantee your view on this country would change. I kissed the ground after 2 years away from it.
