...by those amazing Paralympian athletes.
They train hard for hours and hours. They are gorgeous inside and out. They never give up. They can do hard things.
I am so lucky to have known one myself. Just like the girl in the video I linked to, she has never given up. I believe she is the only Paralympic swimmer that is going to college and training at the same time. She is such an inspiration and an example to me. Swimming was a form of therapy for her that helped her to become stronger and develop self-confidence. Something to dedicate herself to that definitely paid off in the end.
Good luck in the Paralympics, Cortney Jordan! You are the most amazing friend ever!
