Grit, Courage and Determination

Jesse Owens, the American hero in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, said, “We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.” In rising above her childhood affliction and becoming who she is, Deepi Singh has inspired us with all four qualities—that Owens mentions—in equal measure. She is the eternal teacher who’s taught us a thing or two about living with grace and fortitude. Both India and America can be proud of who she is.
