Olypmics at Beljing

I was overwhelmed by emotions when I saw Natalie Du Toit leading the way for the South African Team at the 29th Olympics in Beljing today.

She is a real inspiration for everybody, abled and disabled; young and old. And to think I had the pleasure of knowing her as a fellow classmate was unbelievable for me. It is sad that it seems like we have lost contact as soon as she left my school for another high school. In the process she lost a leg yet gained so much more (at least that's what it seems to be).

I take my hat off for you Natalie!! Go Natalie, I am confident in you and am crossing my fingers that you will win a Gold Medal in this Olympics!!!
