I have Cystic Fibrosis, and Bipolar Disorder. I am a real loser compared to the individuals you referred to in your article, but I do my best.
I need to work harder, but CF is a very costly disease. About $70K a year in medications. No cure in sight. This doesn't give me very many options.
I coach basketball to 1st-3rd grade Chinese kids, but after a brief game with the kids, I am gasping for air and reaching for my inhaler.
I think I have a very positive outlook, but I don't have talent like those great athletes you wrote about. No amount of training will make me an athlete.
I am sentimental and was touched after receiving the note from someone whom I don't even personally know.
Once there was someone who commented in one of my article..
My Sports Hero: Not Kobe Bryant, Not LeBron James...Just My Uncle
She shared how she had surpass the hurdles on her way to reaching his dreams, how she didn't listen to the doubters and how she insist to go to UK to study, work and make something out of herself.
There's also someone who told me that he grew up without a father and how he can relate with the article.
There's also someone who commented about his brother who is an epileptic but still lives a normal life, taking care of his finances, having his own apartment, working and helping challenged people and how he is an inspiration.
I also learned in a comment in an article of mine that instead of bombs, soccer balls had already being bombarded at Iraq. If Life Could Be Just Like Sports
There are passionate writers on this site who writes about the MVP of her life, about a friend who he looked up to and recently died and about her involvement in sports even without sports.
Those are just a few examples and I am pretty sure there are so many magnificent and inspiring stories still waiting to be unraveled here at B/R.
Some years ago, we're all just glued up watching the world wide leader in sports but today we are all "leader in sports" in each of our own rights.
B/R envisioned to be a site for sports anticipation but it achieved greater heights and is now a site for human anticipation.
As someone replied in my comment before, "Every human interaction is a part of the learning process."
That's the way it should be, that's the way at B/R.
