Dreams are only worthwhile when you do your best to attain them!


Hello awesome people! What I am bringing out today is something totally out of the world. I recently read an article on Yahoo! Sports which left me really full of pride. 
Gabby Price
It’s all about Gabby Price, the very talented, 9 year old girl who is all set to demark herself out on the sports field. Indeed the tennis court is not a mystery to her anymore; she knows every nook of the tennis court, the racket, and the tennis ball and that since a very early age. Her father a former Penn State tennis player himself did not actually predict a career in the same field as his, but he says, the moment his little girl was handed the racket, he knew she was meant for it. Both her parents are proud of their daughter and have given her the liberty to choose which field she wants to pursue.

Gabby Price is so talented that she is being put onto the level of Jenifer Capriati, who is considered to be among one of the best professional tennis player on the world. It is definitely a bright future ahead. Although she still does not have the height to see over the net, yes she is still 9 years old! Yet she manages to win and invests a lot of time and energy preparing her.

What I want to bring into limelight is the constant guidance her parents are to her. She is a fully satisfied child who is leaving no stone unturned to achieve what she has dreamed for herself. Dreaming big is not a problem unless you are not going to do anything to reach to make that a reality. I am impressed by Gabby Price’s self-confidence and devotion to outpace her performance. Here the canalisation from parents is not only a source of monitoring what the child is doing; acting as a guide, they are also encouraging her to show her that the sky is not the limit. There are girls out there who are suppressed and told not to dream big because genetically they have been born girls, and this is not a boon. I would like to salute Gabby Price’s parents and all those parents around the world and say thank you for allowing your daughters to realise their potential, encouraging them to attain what they dream of and most importantly, taking pride of the fact that they have a daughter

You can watch her video on YouTube:
