Against all odds
Here is a link to a great story about one of the youngest players at the US Open and the odds he overcame from birth to get to where he is today.

The young man has endured a lot in his young life I wish him all the best and hope he does well. Who knows maybe in a few years he will be the next golf great.

I always enjoy reading about young people overcoming the odds to find success. I try to use the stories about such kids to hopefully motivate and inspire the students I work with.

Thanks for the link Halk - it was a great story! (It was definitely more uplifting than the Grim Reaper reports. )
