Determination. Perseverance. Dedication. Pain. Strength. As we watch the 2010 Olympics, we are all inspired and amazed with the talent and hard work of the athletes. They give up so much to be able to compete. Countless hours of training and practicing for this one moment. To see them win the gold after all their efforts is a beautiful sight. It lights in us a fire, a desire to do something as impressive and hard. Yet, as amazing as they are, many things DO happen day to day that are every bit as inspiring by us
less televised people.
Take, for example, Phil. Through boundless perseverance and determination, he withstood the pain and trials of having braces for the last SIXTEEN months. Though ever a silent sufferer, we watched with awe as he continued, day after day, wearing rubber bands, brushing after meals, his mouth in constant upheaval and change. And then, yesterday, with his smile big and bold, it was suddenly all worth it. The pain. The sores. The TRIUMPH!! We congratulate you Phil.
