Closing ceremonies!

USA came in first for medals, then Germany in second and Canada in third. No one should hang their head because they fought hard and they should be proud to be Olympians. This years Olympics in Vancouver Canada were a huge success and it was amazing to watch.

2010 Winter Olympics

The 2010 Winter Olympics will be a major international multi-sport event held on February 12–28, 2010, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with some events held in the resort town of Whistler, British Columbia and in the Vancouver suburbs of Richmond, West Vancouver and the University Endowment Lands.Tonight is the opening ceremony in Vancouver. Earlier today a Nodar Kumaritashvili, a 21 year old Olympic hopeful crashed while completing a qualifying round during training. Because of the luge death and fatal crash, training for the event has been suspended indefinitely. The luge death is the third during Olympic training. The other two happened during the sport’s inaugural year – 1964. Many are blaming the track for the young lugers death.The Luge death has taken the opening ceremony of the 2010 winter Olympics and turned it in to a time of mourning The opening ceremony is dedicated to Nodar Kumaritashvili. The Olympics are amazing and the people who are involved are doing it for their countries. The feeling of being an Olympian has to be one of the best feelings ever. I am very excited for all the different events that will take place and hope the best for everyone involved.

Give yourself credit!

You are the one that can push yourself to accomplish things. Of course you will come to road blocks, but never give up. Tell yourself that no matter how long it takes to finish something, you will do it. When you finally do finish your task, congratulate yourself and honor what you have done. Some things in life take a while to conquer and it should be a special moment for you when they happen. You don't have to go crazy and get a Penthouse for the night downtown or anything, but just acknowledge what you have done and be proud of yourself.
