A Special Visitor
Today we were really privileged to have Joseph Sullivan come and visit us with his gold medal. Joe won his gold medal at the 2012 Olympic Games in London with his rowing partner Nathan Cohen in the double sculls. They rowed an amazing race to come from dead last to win it and were nicknamed the hobbits by other athletes because they were from NZ and were so short compared to the other rowers. One great piece of advice that Joe told us was that you should never let anyone tell you that you can't do something because if you really want to do it, you should give it your best any way.
