When I was trying out my potential new gym yesterday, I met one of the moms from Hebe's winter swim team in the locker room. She told me that she was so glad that Hebe and another high school swimmer came back to swim meets with the younger kids once their swim season was over, because they showed the little ones what was possible, and were also so nice and friendly to them it really gave her daughter a desire to be just like them (they are both breaststrokers, as is her daughter). She called my daughter a "wonderful role model"! No-one ever called me that -maybe the spell is broken! the fruit can fall away from the tree.
