A former student of mine just broke the world record in the 50m. in swimming at the Canadian World Championship Trials in Montreal. Yesterday, she came in second for the 100m. I had the pleasure of teaching Amanda in Grade 6. I know how hard she has worked to achieve her goals. It shows the value of hard work. I can only think of the bright years ahead for her.
I have added a link for her her race and interview with CBC's Steve Armitage. I just love Steve's booming voice.
