London 2012

I don't know about you but I LOVE watching the olympics summer or winter. Each have their sports that I love to watch. I am the least coordinated person you will ever meet so to see people who are the best in their sport compete and represent their contry is so fun to watch. I have always admired those talents in others because I know it's not something everyone is blessed with. One of the things I really enjoy is hearing the human stories whether its about the hosting nation or the atheleates themselves. I liked the focus that they made this year on the sacrifices parents and the atheleates make to get there. It made me think of the sacrifices I now see that my parents made for me and my siblings. It makes me very greatful for them and I know that I wouldn't be who I am if it weren't for them. Another thing that I love about the olympics is the love for ones counrty. As you know I was born in Mexico and grew up in the US, so I have two homes Mexico and the US. Although I have to admit I feel out of place when I visit Mexico because I have not lived there for so many years I always feel such a pride when Mexico is represented. So with that said I was so proud to see Mexico take the gold in soccer and I sang along as the national anthem was played. So proud to be able to call 2 wonderful countries my home. I think we all celebrated with the countries when they won and our heart broke a little when they didn't or they fell. No matter what country is our home for 17 days everyone in the world was united by the spirit of the olympics and love of their homeland, we became one which you have to admit it's a great thing.
