I would not be where I am today without God. He has graced my life with fantastic people and great opportunities. His grace, mercy, and forgiveness has carried me through my first twenty years. He has proved to me in so many ways, both big and small, that He is not indifferent towards me. Because He is not indifferent towards me, I must not be indifferent towards others.

In the world we live in, it is so easy to become indifferent towards others. We become focused on school and our careers and fail to take notice of the people that surround us. While it is okay to think of ourselves and do what is best for of people a day. How many of those people have I helped? How many of the people I come in contact with can see Jesus' love at work in my life? Do I just talk the talk or do I genuinely us, we also should take a moment to consider others. This is something I struggle with. Let me be honest with you: I often am so busy running around that I forget that others around me are struggling through life as well. Between class and work, I come in contact with hundreds live what I preach?

God is not indifferent. Therefore, as a Christian I must not allow myself to become indifferent towards others.

I know we become disappointed in life, both with people and with different circumstances. However, we can not allow ourselves to become indifferent towards the people around us. This world is hurting. People are broken and desperate for something to believe in. They are desperate for hope. Let us not be indifferent towards those around us. Let us be someone's hope today.

Olympic Gold Medalist
1940-1994

Wilma Glodean Rudolph was born on June 23, 1940, in a region of Tennessee known, at the time, as St. Bethlehem, which later became a part of Clarksville. Rudolph was born into a large family, being the 20 th of her father's 22 children. Her father, Ed, worked as a railroad porter while her mother, Blanche, worked as a maid.

Born prematurely, Wilma weighed only four and a half pounds at the time of her birth. The remainder of her childhood would follow a similar pattern of misfortune. At the age of 4, she fell victim to pneumonia as well as the polio virus, leaving her temporarily paralyzed. Her mother began taking her to a physician in Nashville who incorporated physical therapy into her treatment. Blanche was told that massaging her daughter's legs four times per day would hasten the healing process, but due to Blanche's busy schedule, she had to instruct her other children how to perform the massage, resulting in teamwork throughout the family in healing Wilma's paralyzed left leg. With the combined efforts of her family, she overcame the paralysis and was walking with a leg brace at the age of 8; she had to wear specially made orthopedic shoes for a few years after the brace was removed. In regards to her infantile paralysis, Wilma said, "My doctors told me I would never walk again. My mother told me I would. I believed my mother."

Once Wilma regained her strength, she began participating in some of the athletics in which her siblings had been participating. Initially, she took a liking to basketball, eventually joining the girls' team at her all-African-American school, Burt High School. The team's coach C.C. Gray nicknamed Wilma "Skeeter," telling her, "You're little, you're fast and you always get in my way." She became well-known throughout the community while racking up points for her high school's basketball team, frequently having her statistics featured in the local newspapers.

During one of the high school basketball games, Wilma was noticed by Ed Temple; Temple was a sociology professor at Tennessee State University as well as the university's unpaid track and field coach. Impressed with Wilma's speed, he recruited her to his collegiate track team. Just a year later, she was competing in her first Olympics; at the age of 16, Wilma was the youngest member of the 1956 US track and field team, competing in Melbourne, Australia. During the games, she was awarded her first medal, a bronze medal in the women's 400-meter relay.

However, it was four years later during the 1960 Olympics in Rome, Italy that Wilma truly made a name for herself. She competed in the 100-meter race, the 200-meter race, and the 400-meter team relay; she received gold medals in all three events, setting the record as the first woman from the United States to receive three gold medals in a single Olympic Game. Wilma was informed that upon her arrival in Clarksville, there would be a parade and ceremony held for her, but she informed the coordinators that she was only willing to be there if it was to be a biracial, unsegregated event. The coordinators agreed, and in turn, Clarksville hosted its first large gathering that involved people of all races.

Following the Olympic Games of 1960, Wilma retired as a runner, insisting that she didn't feel as if she could ever top what she had achieved in the 1960 Games. She pursued a degree in education from Tennessee State University, from which she received a full scholarship. Furthermore, she was chosen to be the recipient of the 1961 Sullivan Award as America's Outstanding Amateur Athlete, an award that was not restricted only to females. She also won the Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year Award in both 1960 and 1961. At the time, track was not a professional sport, and amateurs had no way of accumulating sufficient living funds from the sport alone, so Wilma began teaching elementary school at Cobb Elementary and coaching high school track at Burt High School, making barely enough money to get by. Additionally, in 1961, she married her first husband, William Ward who was a fellow athlete but divorced him the following year. In 1963, she married Robert Elridge whom she had known from her childhood. The couple had already had one daughter who had been born in 1958, but throughout the remainder of their marriage, they bore three more children. She and Elridge divorced in 1976, at which point Wilma and her children moved to Indiana where she hosted a local television show and ran a community center. In 1977, she wrote an autobiography entitled Wilma.

Unfortunately, Wilma passed away at the fairly young age of 54. In mid-1994, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor which eventually took her life on November 12, 1994; she passed away in Brentwood, Tennessee and is buried at the Edgefield Missionary Baptist Church, a small church located in Clarksville near the Mason Rudolph golf course. Her legacy has lived on for decades though. Wilma Rudolph Boulevard, in Clarksville, was given its name in dedication of her in 1994. In August of 1995, Tennessee State University honored her by naming their newly built dormitory after her, the "Wilma G. Rudolph Residence Center." Additionally, a life-sized bronze statue of Wilma Rudolph has been placed at the Wilma Rudolph Event Center located at 1190 TN Hwy 48 in Clarksville. Despite her untimely death, Rudolph's legacy is still very much alive within the city of Clarksville.

Despite being told as a child she would never walk again, Wilma Rudolph relentlessly pursued her dreams becoming an international track and field star. At the height of her career, "the fastest woman in the world" used her platform to shed light on social issues.

Wilma Glodean Rudolph was born on June 23, 1940 in Saint Bethlehem, Tennessee. As one of 22 children, she was constantly surrounded by support and care, which she needed given her poor health. Rudolph survived bouts of polio and scarlet fever. Her illness forced her to wear a brace on her leg. Rudolph's diagnosis was very bleak, "my doctor told me I would never walk again. My mother told me I would. I believed my mother." Together, Rudolph's parents and siblings took turns taking care of her. They would often remove her leg brace and massage her injured leg. At the age of six, Rudolph began to hop on one leg. By eight she could move around with a leg brace. At the age of 11, Rudolph's mother discovered her playing basketball outside. She quickly turned to sports, becoming a natural athlete. She was nominated as All-American in basketball during high school. However, after a chance meeting with a college coach she turned to track and field.

While still in high school Rudolph competed on the collegiate level. She competed in the 1956 Olympic games and won a bronze medal in 4x100 relay. Four years later, Rudolph headed to the 1960 summer Olympics determined to get gold. Her performance in Rome cemented her as one of the greatest athletes of the 20 th century. She won three gold medals and broke at least three world records. Rudolph became the first American woman to win three gold medals in track and field at the same Olympic game. Her performance also earned her the title of "the fastest woman in the world."

Returning home an Olympic champion Rudolph refused to attend her homecoming parade if it was not integrated. She won the Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year award in 1961. The following year, Rudolph retired from track and field. She went on to finish her degree at Tennessee State University and began working in education. She continued her involvement in sports, working at several community centers throughout the United States. She was inducted into the US Olympic Hall of Fame and started an organization to help amateur track and field stars. In 1990, Rudolph became the first woman to receive the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Silver Anniversary Award. The indoor track and dormitory at Tennessee State University are named in honor of Rudolph. In 1977, her life was the subject of a prime-time television movie. Rudolph died of a brain tumor on November 12, 1994.

The song talks about overcoming difficulties. Sia sings that she running forward the difficulties and ignores of what she afrades. "Uh-oh, running now, I close my eyes."
when she nears her difficulties "another mountain to climb." she willing to take risks and she wants to overcome the obstacles that comes in her way. "I need another love, be mine." Also she sings about she's not going to give up and stop no matter what happens. "Don't give up. I won't give up" . We see in the song the same theme like the project , the theme is about that people shouldn't give up about their goals and dreams although their difficulties in life .

Our project talks about why it's important to follow your dreams and how to do that. Also it talks about the obstacles and the difficulties that stand in the way for achieving the dreams and how to overcome them in order to achieve your dreams.
The most interesting I learned was about Wilma Rudolph which I didn't know her before the project, it was interesting to learn about her because she was paralyzed and she reached amazing goals in her life considering the fact what she's been through in her life. Also I learned from her story that you can do everything you want even if you have difficulties.
I hoped to learn about people who succeeded to overcome difficulties in their life and achieved their dreams.
The most difficult part for me was the part when we needed to summarize the articles, it was hard because we needed to summarize them in our words and not copy and it took us a lot of time. I recommend this topic for others because you can learn from it a lot and you can take it for your life, it can give you motivation to achieve your dreams and never give up. If I had more time for the project I would like to learn the disadvantages in following your dreams because I want to know also the disadvantages and not only the advantages.
I think I will share what I learned about the topic with others because I think it's important for everyone to know those things for example that you need to do what you feel is right for you and don't listen to what others has to say. By doing the project I feel that I improved my writing and language in english for example when we needed to summarize the articles I needed to write in my own words. Yes I'm proud of my work because it took time to do the work and I like the result , in addition I think it's a good work for the first time I did a work like this in English.
It was easy to find the articles about Wilma because she's famous and all the other information but it was a little hard to find the first article because they are not many good articles about why it's important to follow your dreams.
I learned that I can write very well in English , also I learned that it was hard for me to summarize the articles.
