Inspiring

This summer, London was taken over by the excitement of hosting the Olympic Games, transforming a city, and in fact the whole country with excitement and a contagious enthusiasm bringing countries from around the world together in a united exciting event. In particular, the Paralympics were an inspiration to every generation. These athletes are a shining example of how the human spirit can overcome severe disability and drive forward to pursue dreams and reach goals some of us would not dare to attempt. The accomplishment of those sportsmen and women who took part was without doubt remarkable, and one couldn't help but be moved, and cheer each person on, no matter which country they were representing. The courage, strength and skill along with great determination lead them to participate in these games. Congratulations to those who went home clutching a coveted gold, silver or bronze medal; but in my mind every single athlete that took part, was a winner! So if you got out of bed the wrong side this morning, and are moaning or feel hard done by, just take a look at the Paralympics site which may put things into perspective.
