I really guess this is goodbye.

Dear Highly respected madam,
I feel that these past couple of weeks of silent carpool has really hurt our realtionship as friends. I feel that you do not want to talk to us anymore. My partner feels the same way. I don't want to let you go..I really don't. But, you give me no other choice..if you don't want us to talk, then that's fine with me. I've tried multiple times to connect with you but you just ignore me, and now I'm even afraid to talk to you. This is so because I know deep down in my heart, you don't want to. Please if you don't want to talk to us then that is absolutly fine. But then don't consider me your friend. I tried to keep our friendship, but you refused to accept it. Even my partner tried opening up a conversation with you but you responded with a short 5- seconds answer. You used to say good morning every day and now its no longer true, its silence. My friend and I have been desperatly trying to keep the liveliness in the carpool, but it doesn't work. Second of all, you start to critize every word that now starts to come out my mouth. If I'm wrong fine correct me, but don't shoot me. I feel that I can no longer call you a friend because you won't accept mine.

So I guess this is A demain, zai qian, au revior, however you want to say it. Its not a cya latter.......Its a goodbye.

What it means to be a team. and an apology.

"Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships"-Michael Jordan.
I gave up my own dream of going to Nationals a couple of days ago. But I gave it to someone else who could achieve it. I realized at this current level, I wouldn't be able to make it to Nationals this year..i'm too far away. So I did the best thing I could...give it to someone who could do it better. But don't worry, next year I'll be ready, I'll be ready to go to Nationals. You can bet on that. But at this minute, I'm still a seed...I need time and experience to become a Tree.

The second reason for this post is an apology as hinted by the title.

My Dear good friend( you know who you are),
You had asked me whether I was going to camp for LD in the car one faithful day. And I said yes without thinking, you hid your intention by asking about why not other debates. But This post is not on that conversation.
I know I haven't been as dedicated to Academic Team then I should have this past couple of weeks, but please understand that I had priorties to fufill. Its not that I have given up on Academic Team forever..no its not that. So I'm truly sorry for not as being dedicated as I should be. I promise that won't happen ever again, I'll work twice as hard I promise.So please forgive me.

Asking for your forgiveness,
Cyrus Yang
