There are more skateboarding medals up for grabs on the 4th August with 12 year-old Kokona Hiraki from Japan, and 13 year-old Sky Brown of Britain competing.

Becoming - Michelle Obama

I just finished reading the younger readers' version of Becoming by Michelle Obama. I love autobiographies as they give you an inside look at other people's lives. This book in particular is a fascinating look at Michelle's life from her early childhood until she left the White House after her husband's second term as the U.S. President. Michelle credits her parents for setting her on the right path when she was younger. But she also credits the many women who have helped her become who she is. I highly recommend this book.

I love this video of six year old skateboarder, Paige Tobin. She is a viral sensation but she didn't just wakeup one morning, jump on a skateboard and drop down a 14 foot vert ramp. She has been skateboarding since she was two. And she has fallen down a lot! Paige's advice to anyone who wants to learn to skateboard - never give up! I think that advice could apply to a bunch of different things.
