i also love the lesson she learned about stepping outside her comfort box and taking risks. it really teaches myself to step outside of my comfort box and be the athlete i need to be instead of the one i want to be. for example, last night at soccer, we were doing some things that i normally wouldn't do, but it is apart of soccer, and i gave it my all to learn something new and apply to the scrimmage we played. Sarah learned that the only way she can accomplish her dream of being on Canada's National hockey team, and playing in the Olympics, was to step outside of her comfort zone, and try something that isn't normal. this story reminded me of a saying i found, "Many are called, but few get up," - Oliver Herford. Sarah was called to that school in Connecticut. she was offered an opportunity right in front of her, and all she had to do was accept. Sarah was one of the people who got up - she went to that school, and was so glad she did. i want to be the girl who gets up. i want to rise to the occasion and accept the opportunities that come my way. Sarah is living her life to the fullest. She is accomplishing, excelling, and having the time of her life playing her favorite sport so competitively. her story is encouraging, and teachable. she is an athlete with an inspiring story, encouraging young athletes like me to go after the dreams that we are set on. "Hockey has taught me to dream and to follow those dreams until I can touch them and that anything is possible with perseverance and work." - S.V.
