Olympics

The olympics have been on for over a week now and I've been really caught up with the gymnastics competition. One person in particular has blown my mind with the stunts and body control she has at age 16. Her name's Shawn Johnson and although she placed second behind her teammate Nastia Liukin in the overall standings I think she deserved better than she got. And today I realized that professional athletes are people just like me and you. Shawns friends and family support her just like our parents support us in all the things we like to do. I've never thought of professional athletes as people before, never thought they had real feelings. What I saw today was that some of these stars do have class. Shawn went up to Nastia after the last part of the competition and congratulated her whole-heartedly with tears in her eyes. That's class.
