I had to go to school, and it was very early in the morning, it was a beautiful day like today, crisp, sun shining.

I lived with fear all my life and now I'm not afraid of anything. It's my story, and I think I happen to be lucky.

I realized that moment that for me, my childhood was over.

Overall we had a tremendous day. It's one of our fastest years in the last 10, there is just a tremendous amount of fast swimming going on now (in Texas).

They get to miss a day of school for the trip. They are very excited about that. It should be a fun weekend and we really wanted to reward the boys for all of the hard work they have done.

I can remember my first day of school as though it were yesterday. I was afraid of bears. There were big black bears in that country, and I was sure they were hiding behind the big trees.
