Description:

The purpose of this bulletin board is to show that hard work and dedication can lead to success. I chose athletes from the Winter Olympics to demonstrate this idea. I cut out the letters for the title. Then I picked some Olympic athletes and included some inspirational quotes.

Here are some of the quotes:
Shaun White: “You take a crash, you get back up and next time you succeed and that's a great feeling.”

Lindsey Vonn: “Follow your dreams. If you have a goal, and you want to achieve it, then work hard and do everything you can to get there, and one day it will come true.”

Mikaela Shiffrin: “Practice like you’re not good enough to win. Compete like you can’t lose.” and “Things you don't expect come up, and you have to adapt. You can't let it throw you off. You have to cope. Those are all really valuable skills, in life and racing.”

Shani Davis: “Anything is possible, but not until you believe you can achieve it.”

Jamie Anderson: "I'd rather be inspired by my competition than be jealous."

Chloe Kim: "I feel like dreams are always a little tricky, you know. But if you just push through the struggles and the hard times, it'll be so worth it in the end, because you will be able to get to your dreams."

Nick Goepper: “If you want something bad enough, and you're having enough fun doing it, you can accomplish it. You just got to get creative and find a way.”
