Grateful for opportunites!!

Today at Paige's school they had an awesome assembly! They had a fantastic guest speaker!! Gold Medalist Figure Skater, Evan Lysacek came to speak with the kids. (If you watch Dancing With the Stars, you would have seen him there also.)Paige loved the assembly and what he had to say. Evan shared his success story and the commitment, dedication and discipline he needed to reach his dream of becoming an Olympic Champion. He stressed the "importance of having a dream and telling everyone about that dream so they can encourage and help you reach it."

What a neat opportunity for the kids at Dowell to hear personally from an Olympic athlete. Paige was so impressed with him and thought it was pretty cool he was wearing his actual, "real" gold medal!!

I'm so grateful the kids have opportunities like this and encouragement to reach for whatever their own dreams may be!
