The 11-year-old girl in the photo is Rhea Bullos.
She didn’t have enough money to buy sneakers for the competition she wanted to join, so she wrapped her feet with pinstripe tape and ran anyway.
Rhea didn’t let anything stop her dreams. She even designed a logo for the brand she wished to create one day.
So, what happened next? She won all three races she entered — the 400m, 800m, and 1500m — and came home with 3 gold medals.
Remember, it doesn’t matter what shoes you wear if you believe in yourself.
All you need to succeed is faith and imagination.
And Rhea is just one example of what’s possible.
