Going to the wall, hitting the wall, and pushing through it A speech about the importance of sports by Josh Fien-Helfman '02 at a gathering between the Class of '02 and their grandparent class, 1952. The event took place on September 14, 2001Good afternoon. First I'd like to extend my prayers and those of the Princeton community to all those affected by Tuesday's tragic terrorist attacks. May all those who are grieving be comforted, and may the memory of those who perished remind us all of the cherished ideals of freedom and democracy. I am honored to speak to you today on behalf of the Class of 2002, and the very talented athletes at Princeton University. First I wish to thank you for your continued interest in the student experience and life at this university. In the few minutes I have to talk, I'd like to share with you how my D.C. Public School experience shaped my determination, perseverance and Princeton experience, and I would like to recount a defining Princeton athletic moment forever emblazoned in my mind. My high school was roughly 60% black, 20% Hispanic, 10% white, and 10% international. Together, this diverse community celebrated many sports and academic achievements while at the same time mourning the violent deaths of more than half a dozen of our classmates, including two star student athletes. This challenging, and at times frustrating, high school experience fostered my thirst for higher education and my motivation to accomplish something worthwhile. I have tried to dream the impossible dream, but at Princeton, such a dream can become reality.
