Lauren Metcalfe
Intellistudent of the Week, 5-23-07

For 13 years of my life I have been a gymnast. Blood, sweat, and tears went into that sport ever since I was four. Then one day, my dreams were shattered because I tore my ACL (a ligament in your knee). After surgery i realized that i wasnt going to be able to return to gymnastics. I had my life planned out, and now I have to start over. I was planning on a full ride scholarship to college, but now I must scrimp and save money to be able to go and pursue what iv always wanted to do; graphic design. As you can tell by my picture, thats what I love to do. MYSPACE: www.myspace.com/x_gymnast_07

Shattered dreams are part of life, Lauren -- we feel for you. You cannot imagine the hundreds of dreams that Uncle Scuzzy has had shattered. But look at it this way -- how many rich gymnasts have you heard of? A handful, possibly -- but not a lot. Now how many graphic designers are pulling in some dough? See? Thank your weak ACL for that!
