Political Olympics!
Posted by KHills on August 14th, 2008
Even though I am not athletic, I love to watch the Olympics. They are one more reason to make me proud of this country that I call my home.
After winning one of his gold medals, Michael Phelps (when talking about how he did in the race) said, “In the circumstances, not too bad I guess,” he said with a shrug. “I know I can go faster.” When I was first thinking about this comment, I thought to myself, “Shouldn’t he just be grateful for getting the medal?” Then, I realized why he really said that. He wants to push himself to always do better.
