__**Olympian Dream**__ By:Gaby

We all know that all Olympians dream and believe in almost everything but so do we, we all dream about big things and we know we can accomplish it with a little courage and a lot of believing but also you have to dream above all dreams. Olympians have a dream to succeed and you should too. Never think you can not do anything because you can do anything with a little practice believing and some courage to do anything! Just like most Olympic athletes, be a dreamer you can't expect to become an Olympic 2010 star in one day it takes lots of dreaming time and effort to become a successful one. Just like the process of riding a bike you have to learn to ride one with training wheels when you get the hang of it move on to a more difficult level. A more difficult level would be to take them off practice and practice till you've got it down Take off your training wheels and go out and have fun. Olympic athlete's have to do that too, to be the best they can be in there sport they had to learn the sport and how to do the sport then they had to practice and practice the sport and try to qualify to enter in the Olympics. Just like you did when you took off your training wheels. Don't ever get jealous in the process of becoming an Olympian it will slow you down and will not end in the best of ways. Like in the book Gertrude McFuzz by:Dr.Seuss it has a bird with one feather named Gertrude McFuzz Gertrude has only one feather while the others have 2 or more so Gertrude gets envy with the other birds mostly with Lolla-La-Lelu and goes off to find a pill tree that can make her grow more feathers. Gertrude takes over 3 dozen pills and becomes a 90 pound bird with all kinds of feathers witch had to be plucked of all that was left was the one feather she started with that one single feather so you can see that Gertrude got some jealousy with all the other birds having more feathers than her and see that she took all those pills for nothing. So the book is saying jealousy won't lead you any where in the world.

So if you put them together you can succeed in your dream but you can never forget to believe in yourself if you fall down pick yourself back up and don't get shame or mad when you fall that will never help you win. Ignore the fall and go on though, you never know you might have just won that gold you were asking for. As it is said in the bible one of the ten commandments “You shall not covet your neighbor” or as Martin Luther King said “I have a dream” many famous quotes by famous people saying Dream and believe don't get jealously with others go all the way.
