The Gift

Steve Prefontaine was a famous runner, unique like no other. He was a front runner who would shoot out and lead the race from beginning to end, wearing out his competition until they had nothing left to out-kick him near the end.

With a great philosophy, he believed that we should give our absolute best at whatever we do and doing well any other way is not the right way. I gained part of my internal drive to do well in everything from Pre.

The gift is a God given talent that everyone has, whether it may be athletics, smarts, or just being social. We all have one and it is our job to use our gifts and talents to benefit the world. If we are not using them to the best of our ability then all of those amazing gifts go to waste.

"To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." -Steve Prefontaine
