changing disappears overlooked seen statue thousands
Activating is about changing people's perceptions of overlooked or invisible spaces. A building can become an archetype, invisible, like for a New Yorker, for example, the Statue of Liberty. You look at it, and it disappears into the thousands of times you've already seen it.

I don't think I played the way I could have. I definitely think I could have given him a better challenge than I did, ... He got up 3-0 and I think I only won one or two points. I double faulted the first four of my service points. I didn't feel all that nervous. But I never really hit it the way I wanted.
goals hard win
Everyone contributed. This was a big win for us. We've been working really hard and we have some big goals for this year.
definitely errors match second start though tough
They were definitely a tough team. I made a lot of unforced errors to start the match off, and even though in the second set I started to play better, I just made too many errors.
