AMBITION: Our Word of the Week
Definition: 1A: An eager desire for social standing, fame, or power. 1B: Desire to
achieve a particular goal: aspiration. 2: The particular goal of one’s desires.
Example: Rashid practices hard because it is his ambition to make the Taekwondo Olympic
team!
Which activity do you think gave us “ambition”?
A. Trying out for a sports team.
B. Waiting for a ship to sail.
C. Running for elected office.
D. learning to drive a car.
Did you vote for C? Candidates in ancient Rome had to spend a lot
of time going around the city urging the citizens to vote for them. The Latin word for
this effort was “ambitio,” meaning “to go around.” Since this “ambition” is caused by a
desire for honor or power, the word eventually came to mean “the desire for honor or
power.” Middle French adoptedthe word’s “quest for glory” sense when speakers started
using it in the Middle Ages. By the 14th century, English speakers had done the same.

Congratulations to the
Chosun Softball team
on another victory they’re having a great
season this year!

Congratulations Teodora! Keep up the good work!

PLEASE REMEMBER - Summer is here and it’s fun to go
barefoot, but going barefoot through the parking lot before
coming into the dojang is a BAD idea. Your feet will get
dirty and all that nasty stuff from the street will get on the
mat! So PLEASE wear shoes when coming IN and OUT of
the dojang!
