You can tell a lot about a kid by looking at their 100 Mile Club shirt. This glorious garment belongs to the Fabulous Isak. It's a perfect example of a child taking control of his goals and making them happen...and how he tells the world about them using his 100 Mile Club tee.
This photo was taken on January 31, 2013. Isak has somewhere between 300 and 325 miles right now. His goal is 500 miles.
How do we know this? Look at his shirt.
- The 3 diamonds on his collar represent 300 miles. This is a tradition that has been going on at his school for at least 8 years. Every 100 miles earns a diamond (a Swarovski crystal to be exact) on the back collar of the 100 Mile Club Tee.
- There are 3 rows of check boxes on the left, each representing 100 miles in increments of 25. The first row is what is printed on the shirt when it is earned. Isak has carefully added 2 more rows of check boxes on the left, which are all checked off. 300 miles. done.
- There are 2 more rows of check boxes added to the right side. Looks like he has 200 more miles to go. None are checked on the right, so that's where we figure that he is somewhere between 300 and 325 miles.
I have no doubt in my mind that Isak will achieve his goal.
His goal.
HIS goal.
This is all him.
And it is awesome.
We can't wait to see you with your medal, Isak...but more importantly, we can't wait to see what you will do next. You are a star.
