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.

Girl Power: Paige Tobin

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.

Girl Power - Siala Robson

Siala Robson made it to the grand final of the Voice last week. At just 18 years of age she has dealt with a lot of hardship in her short life. Her family experienced domestic violence and ended up living in a women's shelter. But music got her through the really dark times. Even though she didn't win the voice, she is a winner in my eyes. She is an incredibly talented writer and musician. If it hadn't been for her hardships, she might never have picked up a guitar and written her first song. 

Diamonds are formed under extreme temperature and pressure. Hardships can help make your life into something brilliant like a diamond. You are stronger than you realise. If you are going through some really tough times find a creative outlet to express how you're feeling like music, art or writing. There is support out there if you need it - you don't have to go through it alone.
