This is a wonderful reading passage that will inspire each of us. Derek Redmond was a sprinter and made his dream come true by qualifying for the Olympics. Unfortunately, during the race his hamstring snapped but he showed determination and grit by completing the race despite the excruciating pain and the fact his dream to reach the podium would not come true. Despite that he pushed himself, tears streaming down his face, and crossed the finish line. Derek teaches us life is not without falls but raising ourselves up despite of them. So when you face hurtles keep running toward your dream. |
