Still, nothing's matched the pressure I felt standing at the top of the halfpipe for the first time at the Olympics.

Democracy, pure democracy...A wise man should so write...A somebody was once a nobody...The reward of suffering is experience...At fifteen my heart was set on learning...We must let go of the life we have planned...
