Our definition and standard of being excellent are set by ourselves, and we all thrive in our own areas of passion. Now, sitting in front of us are the most brilliant scholars, the most exceptional athletes, the most gifted artists, and the most passionate individuals with all kinds of charactersitics and dedicated to making a difference. “
