1. ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Go Places You’ve Dreamed of

I have been working and playing hockey for six years now and I’m trying to qualify for some international tournaments in the future to represent Canada.

The officer is a tall man with a well defined jaw and full beard. His white T-shirt, long sleeves and baseball cap are all reflective of his service. He has three young children and is proud, he tells me, of those they have. But he also speaks with a lot of pain.

The first time I played hockey, my mom was there. She has been through her entire life. I don’t think she could look me in the eyes and feel how tough it is to get back into the game,” he tells me.

They are Japanese, Korean, and a Chinese.

They are talking about how you must be Japanese to appreciate the story. That’s what they say.
