Exactly, Pat. Those who review and are not familiar with me, would not attach 'Marijke' to fionageorge. I thought of changing, but the story would have given it away anyway ... Thanks friend, and warmest regards.

Comment from anabelle
This is a really heart-warming and beautiful story. It concerns a kind girl who is not above competition, but even better, not above letting her competitive nature ruin who she is.
Best of luck in the contest.
Regards, anabelle

A state champion, you must be so proud. I don't know if this is a true story or not, but it certainly wrote as if it were true. When you were watching the races I felt like I was there with you. great job.

Thank you so much, and yes, this was non-fiction, and it happened only 2 weeks ago.
We are proud, but more of who she is than what she achieved. Warmest regards.
Comment from Belinda
What a sweet little girl A fighter, but not a boaster. I'm not surprised if you are so very proud of her and call her 'our golden girl'. Interesting true story, Author.

Comment from Southern Writer
A wonderful story about a young lady that has a very bright future for many reasons. But your writing showed that being a decent human being is more important than a sport's award. It reflects on your whole family, you have good values.

Comment from michaelcindy
I think you wrote a sports story that really exemplified what it is to be a true athlete. The character Jardene is an inspiration to all sports participants ,male or female. The story flowed nicely and your ending was extraordinary.

Comment from Claire Beck
What a nice account! You described the action well and painted a clear picture of what it was like watching your granddaughter win.
"Bang!" Since this one's not spoken, it doesn't need quotation marks.
"new lease of life" - isn't it "new lease ON life?"
Good luck with the contest!

Thank you for writing such a beautiful uplifting story. So many people get so focused on winning. It was lovely to hear that your grandaughter had the heart to not only win, but remain true to herself. Nicely done. Regards, Bill
