THE INNER LIFE OF THE CELL

The human body is amazing. I am fascinated by all the details, principles, and laws of science that are followed that make life possible. There are so many tiny pathways and processes that all work exactly and are kept in perfect balance. Its amazing what we have discovered and have been able to learn in science about our own bodies. In my physiology class we have started back at the beginning with the basic unit of life, the cell.

GREAT QUOTE - THEODORE ROOSEVELT

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actuallly strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least [he] fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

-Theodore Roosevelt, “Citizen in a Republic” (address delivered at the Sorbonne, Paris, France, Apr. 23, 1910), Presidential Addresses and State Papers and European Addresses, December 8, 1908, to June 7, 1910, vol. 8 of Presidential Addresses and State Papers, Homeward Bound ed. (1910), 2191.

FUTURE DENTAL CLINIC SITE

Someday I am going to build a dental clinic here. People will trade me coconuts, fresh mangoes, and roasted pig for fillings, crowns, and extractions. Afternoons you'll find me at the beach adding to my shell collection, snorkeling with my children that speak Tongan and climb coconut trees. Nights reading next to a smoking umu drinking fresh otai. Saturdays at Teufaiva Stadium, watching rugby, and eating peanuts. Long weekends I will visit Ha'apai and Vava'u with my beautiful wife. And on Sundays I'll rest and grow wise.
