“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”-Teddy Roosevelt

“You can’t have a rainbow without a little rain”
Inspiration:
I was inspired by my encounter with a Harvard scientist. When I was only 8 years old, I decided I would write to a (now former) Harvard scientist, named Professor Abzhanov, to discuss the possibility of genetically engineering a dragon. I know now that it is much more complicated than younger me thought, but his thoughtful, two-hour conversation with me meant the world. I have been absolutely intrigued with genetics since, and am currently a third year Biotechnology student. I am not only inspired to bring myself to the level of knowledge and achievement in science as he was, but also to give back, to speak to someone who may otherwise be overlooked and take their ideas seriously; as he had said so many years ago, he wished he had someone to speak with him about genetics as he had spoken with me.

Inspiration:
This is a tricky one. What inspires me? When I was younger, I would often describe events of grandeur. People saving others, winning great awards, or making huge change! Now, don’t get me wrong, those people still inspire me. But, as I got older, I learned about something more inspirational. It’s hidden in our daily lives, and I’m not sure what the exact word is to describe it. Those quiet nights I spend in prayer with God, sleeping in a van after thirty minutes of karaoke with new friends, hearing the chit-chatter of my peers after a fun night at the Talent Show. That inspires me. It inspires me to keep moving forward and making change for a better world: a world with more of those moments. Well, after writing that paragraph, I think I know how to define what inspires me: gifts from God. Moments I will treasure. Those inspire me.
