When participating in one of the most prestigious games in the world, the Olympics, the symbol of the heart and soul of the game, is the flame. The flame must stay burning. It starts from a spark, from one torch, and transforms into a blaze. The outstretched torch is there. That one prestigious, well-respected, committed person has the honor to take the outstretched torch and run with it. The torch is outstretched, will you run with it? My commitment is to grasp that torch with two hands, run with it, never stopping, never tiring until I reach my destination. I will never cease until I have changed the lives of others in a positive manner. The flame will continue to burn until I have made it into the most prestigious law firm. The flame will intensify until I have been elected into a governmental position. My commitment will last until my life mirrors the old saying: "When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a manner that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice." .
