One day a little girl who lived in the Lehigh valley her whole life found out some news that was going to change her life forever, I was that little girl. It was the summer of 2011 and I was at Brookside Country Club a place that I spent most of my summer. I was eating dinner with my family after a long day of swimming with my friends. We had just ordered dessert and my dad told my brother and I to go in the parking lot and wait for him because he had something to tell us. At this moment I was scared I thought to myself oh no someone in my family had passed away. My dad came outside smiling so I soon realized it wasn’t something sad.

We were in the second row near the end of the 100m race. As some of you may know that just happens to be the race Usain Bolt participates in. We were watching lots of events pole vault, shot put, and some races. As we saw Usain Bolt go up the line to begin his race my heart started to flutter. I looked up at my brother and he said “do you know who that is” and I was so excited to say “yes I do”. Everything in the arena was crazy there is always more then one thing happening at a time. As I heard the official say runners take you mark then the sound of the horn go off and to see these Olympic athletes doing what they have trained to do their entire life over in 9.63 seconds in Usian Bolts
