Reflection:
In the video there was a race going on. The girl in the lead got hurt almost to the finish line. Then the girl who was in 2nd place decided to do the right thing. She saw the she was hurt and helped her to the finish line. She even made sure the other girl was in first place because the was fair. The girl who showed good sportsmanship is Jenna Huff. She won the Extreme "Sportsmanship" award from the US Olympic Committee. To me this girl is a true hero. Not only did she help someone that she was competing against but she let her win first place. That takes a lot of courage to do. She could have easily let her stay there hurting and won the race but she chose to do the right thing and help her. She totally deserved that award. Most people our age or older for that matter wouldn't do that. They would have just kept running. It takes a lot of guts to do something that major just because you felt it was right. There are few people in the world who could tell you that they helped somebody who was hurt just because they wanted to. She is now one of them and can say that with pride.
