It's Like French Toast

When we attended the "Welcome to CMC" weekend mid-April, we stayed at the Doubletree Inn, located just blocks away from Claremont McKenna College. Not only did they give us yummy, warm chocolate chip cookies when we checked in, but they also gave us free buffet breakfasts every morning! Each morning we'd race down to the dining room to see what was new. The first morning, Mike, Karina and I had made-to-order omelettes with salsa. We were so full, we didn't have room for the scrumptious looking french toast beckoning to us in the silver chafing dish adjacent to the salsa.

"I'm going to have the french toast tomorrow!" Karina announced.

The next morning, we again dashed to the dining room. Ahhh, egg white omelettes with any kind of fixings we wanted.

"Omelette or French toast?" waivered Karina. She decided on the omelette. "It's protein," she argued.

Our final day at the doubletree, Karina raced to breakfast, ready for her french toast, only to find they were serving waffles instead! She was crest-fallen. Even though she was able to special order french toast (served with a side of banana slices!!), the lesson was clear:

Take advantage of the opportunity when it presents itself especally if it means that much to you. If you can refuse it, know that that is your choice and you may not get another crack at it. The point is, whatever you decide, KNOW THAT YOU MADE A CHOICE & LIVE WITH NO REGRETS.
