Sure, I enjoy the great athletics programs, the feel of a warm spring day in Chapel Hill and the fine academic tradition UNC represents, but the answer to my question goes much deeper. The answer lies not in one or two details, but in the entire framework of our lives. Life is about opportunities - those taken and those missed. A whole succession of events brought us to this point and will lead us to the next. All that we are today, stems from opportunities we have pursued or passed up.
Opportunities are the fuel that drive our dreams.
They make imagination come to life, the impossible possible. Think back for a second to opportunities you have had. Maybe you hail from a prestigious family. Maybe you attended a summer camp in the sixth grade that taught you new things about science. Or maybe you went to the beach last week with a group of your best friends.
