<p>Hey guys, first post here, congrats to everyone who got in! I just watched an interview with Jeremy Lin, so what I got from it was that even if there are obstacles in life, you must persevere, so if you didn’t get in, it wasn’t meant to be. Even if your path right now isn’t clear, in the end you will end up in the right place.</p>
