Why Wilma Rudolph, you ask? Well, it kicked off with a school project about amazing women who've made history. And boom! Wilma Rudolph raced into Sophia's mind. But wait, there's more! Sophia's sister Eva, just joined the school track team, totally loving the run, which zapped us right back to Wilma's incredible journey.

Imagine being told you might never walk, but instead of giving up, you tie those shoelaces tight and zoom past every single "no" to snatch your dreams right at the finish line. That's Wilma for you! Plus, we've got a secret about her super speed waiting to be uncovered.

Wilma wasn't just any girl; she was the 20th kid in a big, loving family, facing huge hurdles right from the start. Despite serious health battles, including polio, she never let anyone's doubts slow her down. With her family's unshakable support and a spirit that just wouldn't quit, Wilma took her first steps alone at nine years old, smashing every doubt along her path.

From a shaky start to becoming the fastest woman on the planet at the 1960 Rome Olympics, Wilma's story isn't just about winning gold; it's about breaking barriers and proving that big dreams do come true, no matter what.

As we celebrate Women's History Month, let's dive into Wilma Rudolph's journey from a determined little girl to an Olympic powerhouse. And hey, Big Dreamers, we've got a challenge for you! Chat with your folks about the lessons Wilma teaches us. What sparks your interest? How does her story inspire you?
