Hello, members! I am an new member, and I am extremely proud to
join this group to honor and support this amazing young man, named
Michael Phelps, undoubtedly the world's best swimmer at this time.
The first time I saw Michael and his amazing feats of swimming
mastery was last July at the World Championships, and my heart
swelled with pride to see this American boy winning every race he
entered with incredible grace, fluid style, and relentless speed. It
was almost too much to believe and astounding that this young
American could do what no other has done in swimming history--achieve
a remarkable and unprecedented five world records in a single meet!
And he has really just begun his journey into sports fame and
history! Next, the Summer Olypics. What loftier heights will Michael
reach here? The next Mark Spitz? Or even surpass him?
All of us as Americans can be justly proud of this young
athlete and his accomplishments, and support him in all his
endeavors, in and out of the pool. In this world of constant turmoil,
bloody wars, and fearful uncertainly, Michael is like a beacon of
youthful light and radiance and a symbol of all that is good in
America.
