In watchng the olympics, many are asking who is the star? Is it Michael, Gabby or Missy? All great stories, all great athletes , and all great representatives for our nation. One however has chosen a path unlike the expected path of the elite atlhlete, she has chosen to stay with her high school and represent her community and nation through her graduation from high school. Missy Franklin with her smile and spirit has captured the heart of the nation and hopefully steered the youth of our nation toward balance between education, athletics and family.
