On Saturday, September 9, 19 friends and I attended the 12th Annual Fuller Landau Cedars CanSupport Dragon Boat race and festival. We had to wake up bright and early to be there for 8 am, but it was worth it. We got to paddle a boat together in a few races, and it was a lot of fun. We learned a lot, notably the mindset that paddling together is more important than paddling hard. This doesn’t only apply to paddling, but to life in general. At lunch, we witnessed an inspiring ceremony, which consisted of a few minutes of silence, and then all of the cancer patients or survivors who were in attendance threw flowers into the water. All in all, it was a wonderful event for a good cause and a lot of fun. – William Hamilton ’19
