I can't say it. Olympic ladies are everything I could never be. When I was 16, I practiced a sport for 2 hours a day, 6 days a week, and thought I was being tortured by a time commitment. These 16 year olds win gold medals and don't shed a tear when they come in last. I nearly cried when I got lost driving last week. The 30 year olds pop out two kids and then tear up the track for a gold just two years later. They kill it in the sand while I look like a beached whale when I try to flip over on a towel on the beach. They're bitches cause they've got hot bods, great attitudes, extraordinary commitment and dedication. I am a bitch for hating on a olympians. Don't pretend like you weren't thinking the same thing though. While you were complaining about how your mom won't trust you while driving with your permit (rightfully so), Gabby Douglas is winning gold medals at that same age. Those...Olympians.
Epilogue
I drafted this post three times and deleted it each time. I really hope that all of my students are inspired to be Olympians. I am proud that Title IX has helped women get to the Olympics. I feel mildly unpatriotic by posting this. I spend my evenings watching the Olympics, managing schedules and sending emails, and eating the dinner of champions. Haters gonna hate.
