Quote of the Week

Aloha Tsunamis! I wanted to share a quote with everybody. This is something I would like to start doing every week and I thought this quote would be a great one to start with, it's one of my all-time favorites form Ferdinand Magellan, famous Spanish explorer who set out to sail around the world.

“The sea is dangerous and its storms terrible, but these obstacles have never been sufficient reason to remain ashore. Unlike the mediocre, intrepid spirits seek victory over those things that seem impossible. It is with an iron will that they embark on the most daring of all endeavors—to meet the shadowy future without fear and conquer the unknown.”

Keep up the good work Tsunamis! Coach Eric

Reminder- entries due tomorrow!!!
