Hold your head up high, and congratulations on your new champion. It is so much easier to lose. When you win, you will become more of a target. It is harder to win than to lose. Your friends will be your friends either way. Some who were not your friends will try to pretend they were. And, some will be jealous and try to bring you down. It is a good way to find out who your friend are, and then you will always have them. We know who our friends are, and it has nothing to do with winning or losing. Enjoy your new champion and don't let anyone tell you that you must do what you don't want to do. Unless you are in 10th grade and out on a date with me, 60 years ago. I guess since it didn't work then, it probably doesn't work now either. Evan L.
