Entry #3 Chapter 6 & 7

Considering the conditions of immigration, I think Hector Seeman's case is the worst. Often times we see people blessed with tremendous talent beyond measures that sit back and wait for the world to notice them. A quote by Richard Nixon sums it up best "A man is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits". Just because he never received the recognition he felt he deserved, Hector Seeman gave up on his dreams. He quit when things didn't go his way, eventually ruining his own career. Had he kept on, he could have gone on to accomplish goals beyond his dreams, but insteasd he chose to close himself off and push the people closest to him away. Speaking from experience, I think one of the worst things you could possibly do is not follow your dream and to give up. As a young girl and teenager my whole world was cheering and dancing and my ultimate goal was to be a college cheerleader. I cheered for several competition squads and one particular year I was picked as an "alternate" and I quit after that. For many years I regretted that decison and had to live asking myself "what if".
