Letter from J.R. to the AIM family:
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Dear AIM Family,                                                                                                          August 30, 2008

     First of all I would like to thank you for another wonderful year of friendship.

     I feel honored to be a part of this company, and also blessed to have the support you encompass me with. I feel like I wouldn't be where I am today without your help both physically and mentally, as the past few years have challenged me from every angle possible. It has been quite a ride thus far, but I feel like the next two years are going to be very successful as I get closer and closer to completing my goals.

     This last year went quite well as I accomplished several goals that I set for myself before the year started. I moved back to California, but this time I came with my Dad. I was accepted back into the Merit Scholar program at Lakewood High School, which is one of the top academic programs in the Long Beach School District. I knew that this would set me up for great college acceptances, as I dreamed of getting into the University of California. I took the SAT a second time in October, and wound up raising my score from a 1640 to an 1810, which is where I needed to be to guarantee a good college acceptance. I applied to several schools (University of California: Irvine, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Riverside, Berkeley, and California State University: Fullerton). After getting accepted into several universities, there was no question as to where I would attend college - Berkeley. This was one of my biggest accomplishments and one that will hopefully benefit me for the rest of my life. I graduated in June from Lakewood High with high honors and an a cumulative GPA of 3.71. Although my full efforts weren't put forth this past year in school because of skating, it still proved to be very successful, and I am satisfied with the outcome.

     My skating season also proved to be successful considering my absence from the sport for a year and a half. Although the first meet (American Cup 1) didn't go as well as I hoped, I came back for Junior Trials a few weeks later and placed first, making my third Junior World Team. In January of this year, I went to Italy for the 2008 World Junior Short Track Championships, and skated against the top juniors (ages 15-19) in the World including countries like Korea, Canada, China, Japan, and most of Europe. I wound up placing 5th overall and just missed out on the medals two times as I placed 4th in both the 1500 and 1500 super final. I then skated at the American Cup Final in March where I placed first overall. I am very happy with the results knowing that it was a building season, which would get me ready for the next season. I also had to realize that it was my first year back after a full year and a half of doing nothing besides going to high school. This next season should be very rewarding as I am training full time now without any distractions and am more determined than I have ever been.

     I felt so blessed to be able to talk in front of the convention in Virginia this year. It really gave me a chance to explain my goals once again to the company and also recharge my batteries for another nutritional year coming up. The mainstay of my nutrition program remains to be the AIM products, including LeafGreens, AIMega, Herbal FiberBlend, Proancynol 2000, Cellsparc 360, and Peak Endurance mixed together with CalciAIM. The Peak Endurance I CalciAIM blend, when frozen slightly, is a real refreshing treat during my training in the California heat!

     Thank you once again for supporting me and my endeavors, and I really look forward to this upcoming year!

                     Sincerely,
