They dangle these things in front of you. They tell you, you got a chance, but I'm sorry. It's a lie because they had already made up their mind and they knew what they were going to do before you walked in the door. You made a mistake and they are never forgetting it. As far as they're concerned, your mistake is just, it's who you are. And it's all you are. And I'm not just talking about the scholarship here, I'm talking about everything. I mean, they'll smile at you, they'll pat you on the head, but they are never, ever letting you in. But listen... Listen... It doesn't matter. It doesn't because you don't need them. They're not going to give it to you? So what? You're going to take it. You're going to do whatever it takes. Do you hear me? You are not going to play by the rules. You're going to go your own way.

News GUAM From: Cherie Walth SWCA Environmental Consultants, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA Email: [email protected] Subject: Brief Discussion of the Results from the Agana Bridge Project, Guam The Agana Bridge project for the Department of Public Works, Guam, is located along Route 1 from the intersection of Route 4 eastward to the intersection of Route 8, and south along Route 8 for 120 m (394 feet). The study area has been extensively disturbed in historic to modern times, with WWII bombing, channelization of the Agana River, construction of Route 1/Route 8, and the installation of utilities along the roadway. Despite the extensive past disturbance that had impacted the cultural deposits in the area, the project area still retains undisturbed cultural deposits. Fieldwork commenced June 28, 2012, and ended on April 11, 2014. The nearly 2 years of fieldwork included monitoring of ground disturbance below the base course of the roadway, hand excavation of four control units, excavation of 19 non-burial features, and excavation of 65 field-identified human burials.
