I took a photo just for last year's contest and placed second. That got me motivated and really started it all.

Right now we're running pretty rough, back and forth, we have a lot of loads here and there...I've been running in and out.

As things stand, more people speak English than have ever spoken a single tongue, and those who speak it as a second language now outnumber native speakers.

Either way, I knew I was going to the district. I've been raised to be a good sportsman.

We had a game plan to not get beat off penetration and to make their guys shoot the ball over us. For three and a half quarters it worked. But a few turnovers, a couple missed shots down the stretch got us. But I'm proud of the kids, they played hard.

We don?t have the money for a rental. We only brought enough to buy gas back to Oregon.

We're close, but as you can see, we're not close enough. It's frustrating, but we just have to keep working at it.

I see a lot of underestimating when it comes to the conversion process. A lot of people don't realize that the process of actually doing a conversion can take longer and be more difficult than people expect.

It brings out the best in you. You try your best, and hopefully you make a lot of great memories.

Hispanics are said to be keeping themselves apart, avoiding the use of English, and declining to absorb on the spot the 'core' Protestant and individualist values that underpin the American way of life ... but precedent suggests that young Hispanics will eventually merge their identity in the larger American one, just as previous streams of immigrants have done.
