Standing in front of Dr. Clark's statue, the phrase 'Boys, be ambitious!' feels less like a mere quote and more like a living sentence carried by the wind.
This tranquil hill, close to the city center, is home to grazing sheep and offers a panoramic view of the city and mountains. It's a perfect spot to pause and reflect. Though not vast in size, the atmosphere is profoundly impactful.
The phrase 'Be ambitious' might sound a bit old-fashioned nowadays, but in that setting, it felt strangely fitting. It even sparked a desire in me to try something new.
