ON THE BACK COVER: Broadway Musical: "Hamilton" --- "I am not throwing away my shot " is a line from the inspirational song, "My Shot." It is the third song from Act 1 of the Broadway musical, Hamilton, written by Lin-Manuel Miranda. In the song, Alexander Hamilton speaks about his hopes for the future, his disillusionment with the British, and his desire to be remembered, even if it means dying. Other revolutionaries chime in about their reservations and hopes for the future, as Hamilton encourages them to "rise up" and take their shot. We are reminded that when the fragmenting effects of pressure and stress seem relentless, we persevere and maintain a purpose in spite of the difficulty, even when we don't know if we will triumph.
