Definitely a good read. Makes you appreciate what you got and realize how much he's worked for what he's done.

Well that just gave me a whole new appreciation for the kid. How can you not admire that? And I like how Rolland says "He's not going to beat me, but he can." SHOWDOWN.

Funny thing is I was one of those kids who thought he was just a spoiled rich Aspen kid who's parents paid out the ass to train him since he was 2. I'm so glad I read this, have so much repect for the kid now, will be cheering for him come finals.
