Its
had to do was leave troops behind, and a Democrat comes along and wrecks it.
Howie was in complete agreement with
Princess Ann.
It is true, but not exhaustive. There had
been an election and the government we recognized refused to give us a Status of Forces
Agreement. We demand such a pact when
we leave troops in a country. Without it, the
soldiers are at the mercy of whatever law is in
force.
As that government was elected, we had
no choice but to abide by their decision.
There is one thing Howie and Ann, not to
mention one heck of a lot of my countrymen,
havent figured out. If you have to leave several thousand men in a country to secure it,
it aint victory.
Next, the duo went off on the three
Afghan soldiers who took off from the training base.
AC; Why were they here to begin with by
the way?
HC; They were getting some training.
AC; No no no no no no no. Why, why,
why, who cares?
HC; Why were they getting training?
Were in a war over there, remember.
AC; Oh my gosh, its just, its unceasing
how Democrats screw up foreign policy. Talk

students in math, knits for a prayer
shawl ministry, and works parttime.
As part of the program, Cho
traveled to Bentley University for
the MA HOBY three-day seminar, where she met distinguished
leaders, developed leadership skills,
and met other students from across
the Commonwealth. Our days
were packed from breakfast until
after dinner. It was a great experience. We heard an eight-year-old
patient from St. Jude Childrens
Hospital speak with her mom.
They talked about the dedication
of the doctors and other medical
professionals to their work. Ive
thought about oncology before
and it did make me think about it
again, said Cho, who is leaning
toward a biomedical engineering
major for college. We also made
cards for patients. We had to really
think about to writethey told us
you couldnt say get better soon
thats not necessarily the case for
all kids.
Approximately 220 high school
students participate in the seminar
every year, according to Gail Elmore, President of MA HOBY.
We address the three phases of
leadership individual, group and
societal. For each of the phases, we
have a speaker and an activity to
emphasize the lessons taught, she
said. We believe our methods will
empower students by giving them
tools to know their own leadership
style, lead within a group to excel
in society, and have a positive impact in the betterment of all. This
is in keeping with our taglineempower, lead, excel.
Life is Good co-founder John
Jacobs talked about a different way
to view work. He said You need
to look at how you get to do things
versus that you have to do things.
He began selling t-shirts on the
street with his brother and kept
pushing forward. It turned into

him finding a business later. I think
he was my favorite speaker, Cho
said.
Students were put into groups
to put what each leader said into
practice. We worked in groups of
10 or 11 students talking about
what the speakers said about leadership. Then, we did a survey that
correlated what type of leader we
were using animalseagle, beaver,
buffalo or mouse. I was between
an eagle and buffalo, but a friend
said I was more like the first, Cho
said. In addition to attending the
seminar, students can choose to
participate in volunteer opportunities each month organized
through MA HOBY. We emphasize the importance of giving back
and as an organization we volunteer 7,000 hours a year. Many of
the events we help at are fundraisers, which are crucial to the ongoing success of the organizations.
Therefore, as volunteers, we are
often given responsible roles which
allow further development of leadership skills which in turn, develops confidence, said Elmore. On
average, about 50 students participate per event.
In August, Cho spent three
days in a dorm on the UMASSAmherst campus to help out with
the Special Olympics. We helped
out in the bocce, softball and cycling area. I called out names of
the players at softball and the plays
too. When you called the name
and number of the athletes, they
would wave and get very excited.
One woman missed every time she
got up to bat, but she still tried and
her teammates kept encouraging
her. It showed the resilience to
keep on trying, Cho said. We
also spent a lot of time talking to
the athletes. The experience
changed my perspective on interaction with those with special
needsthey are easy to get to know
if you give them the time. They
are very funny too. !

Their wines deliver the sense of
place that I look for and a stylistic vision. They all have fine texture and excellent balance with pure flavors that
are textbook examples of their grape
types. These are elegant wines that
match well with foods and they are
very fine values at less than $20.00.
The Gouguenheim Winery is
our most reliable Argentine producer each year. Winemaker Patricio
Gouguenheims grapes come from
the best growing sub-region of Mendoza. The winery produces a wide
range of wines with Malbec leading
the way. Their basic level red wines
spend four months in oak before bottling. They are mellow in style with
smooth texture and straight forward
varietal scents and flavors. Their best
white wine is their Torrontes which
is drier than most. The Reserve level
reds are from their best vineyard sites
and spend 8 months in barrel. Prices
range from $9.99 to $12.99 and they
represent exceptional value.
