You may or may not know, but there is a vibrant countryside that completes Cambridge. On my occasional morning jogging sessions, I run through land owned by King's and pass by all the landmarks you see in the photos. I would like to point out the Mercedes A class and the dinky red car I have never seen before in the states. As you can see, there is a chemist (pharmacist) on the way to the countryside. And to last AND least is the acronym USC. But here, USC is the University Social Club. That's right, USC will always have an identity crisis, in the states and abroad.
Moving on to contemporary role models...
Since there is no perfect human (except Jesus), I am going to identify three individuals who portray great qualities I respect and strive after. Please do not interpret this as me saying that I don't respect other people's characteristics...I am merely identifying three individuals who have been on my mind in recent times.
First, Warren Buffet. His blatant identification and scrutiny of the class struggles that exist in the world is strange for the richest man in the world to do. He appears to actually care about what is happening in others' lives and how his blessings can be used as tools for positively influencing lives. I also love his statement, "Price is what you pay. Value is what you get."
Second, Kobe Bryant. Before you start accusing me of supporting adultery and other infidelities, let me say what I respect about the man. First, he is a man and an imperfect human being. But, so am I. Despite being the best at his respective skill set, he continues to pursue excellence. His constant pursuit of defining and improving his already excellent skill set is what marvels and inspires me.
Last, but definitely not least. My father. Knowing this man up and close for my entire life, I have been able to scrutinize and identify what a man should embody. His constant sacrifices and willingness to live for others have inspired me my whole life. Humble and extremely diligent in what he does, my father has and will always be my role model. Of course he is stubborn and ignorant of social situations at times, but he may be the most genuine and good-hearted person I know. As a result, I can only hope I become half the man my father is.

Hey Jason! I just knew you would get into some lovely countryside! I am soooo jealous, as you know England would be my dream trip! I am reading a wonderful book right now: The Wild Places by Robert Macfarlane, a Brit naturalist. I think you would love it. Check it out!
Best,
Linda
