What We Thought America Was About


Whether it’s math, science or swimming, Kenai Central senior Taylor Moore isn’t afraid of the laborious work it takes to find the right answer and get to the next level....Getting Better, one step at a time, Jeff Helminiak, Peninsula Clarion.

Maybe US Representative Nancy Pelosi and the Victims Rights Brigade haven't gotten to Alaska yet. Taylor Moore would likely be at the barricades.

“In math and science, you can get to a higher level, and there is an answer for everything.” Moore has translated this same thinking into swimming. Unlike in math and science, Moore does not have natural abilities that have allowed her to rocket to the top of her class in the pool...“She’s had some great teachers along the way that have encouraged her to push herself,” Lee Moore said of his daughter. “She could have sat back and not gotten much better if she hadn’t been challenged."...(Getting Better, continued....)

In the universe beyond US Representative Pelosi's imagination, it's still true: practice makes perfect. If you want to succeed, you have to try.
