I Won’t Tell Time You’re Beautiful

While you memorize vocabulary, cod are leaping from the waters off Alaska.

While you work through math problems, gulls across the Pacific are beating their wings over the city.

While you burn the midnight oil, the nights inside the Arctic Circle are awash in brilliant colors.

But don't rush. As you work hard for your future, the sights you think you'll never see in your lifetime, and the remarkable people you admire, are making their way toward you, one step at a time.

A young, innocent love became the motivation that kept him studying late into countless nights.

An ambitious girl striving to improve herself, and a boy working hard for her.

One kind lie after another, all so you could keep striving to become better.
