As I sat waiting for my car to be serviced, I watched the Today show. One segment was on the Olympic swimmer, Dara Torres. If you don't know her story, here is a little snippet: She is a 41 year old women competing in the Beijing Olympics. Right now, she swims five times a week and spends several hours on weights and stretching (not the usual nine times like other swimmers). There is some controversy over if she is using illegal substances. She decided to be proactive and has random drug testing every two to three weeks. This is not her first Olympics; she started at the age of 17. She already has nine medals. Her goal is to motivate girls to know that there is no age limit on dreams.
This statement is very true. You should never stop dreaming. This is something we need to teach in our classrooms. Laura
