In the end, the American dream is not a sprint, or even a marathon, but a relay. Our families don't always cross the finish line in the span of one generation. But each generation passes on to the next the fruits of their labor.

This is an emergency situation, a sprint to the finish line.

It always takes the truth a little bit longer to cross the finish line.

As an educator, I have always striven to see that the fruits of the American Dream are available to all.

But for each of us, isn't life about determining your own finish line?

In the last 300 meters I saw Alejandro start to sprint for the finish line but I just kept going and waited for the 200 meter mark to start mine, ... I never had a doubt about any of the riders in the team. They were great today, especially on the last lap.
