Ah Mary, what an inspiration you are! Imagine your grandchildren finding out that you were not just a star, but an inspiration to those who are not naturally talented.

This is what we get wrong in schools.

We fail to explain the thrill of just doing things and completing them.

We fail to explain that winning is far from everything.

We allow elitism to determine competition.

We fail to factor in inclusion.

And now, Mary Chang, you can thumb your proverbial nose at those who through their actions, suggested you weren't enough.

YOU are the est version of yourself.

“ I'd rather regret the risks that didn't work out than the chances I didn't take at all.” —Simone Biles.
