Poem
Blind Ambitions Of Glory The daily news was splashed with a sweet picture of an beaming 16 years-old lass.. As Felicia Mikat greeted an awakening nation today with her athletic medals of world class.. Achieving track honours in the 8th Asean Para Olympics athletics events in Singapore… Her exploits was a much welcomed news amidst the other mundane news at the fore.. Her infectious grin of happiness beamed widely and readily from the sports page… As all Malaysians were awakened to her incredible feat of 3 golden medals… There was nary any fanfare or trumpeting of her potential to secure such successes… Likewise there was no grandiose reception to welcome her homecoming hence… Being a visually impaired lass born in some obscure village way off the beaten track… From the age of seven, she has been housed in a school hostel, far from her family pack.. For one so young to be away from the loving attention of her maternal home… This is one amazing success story of a teenager bringing honour and glory home… Her loving folks back at her home, they were in awe of their daughter’s fame.. Never in their dreams that their little baby with her special needs can find such fame… Her blind ambition to excel on the running track, under the eyes of a dedicated coach… Underlines the talent, the hard work and the tenacity to succeed while being coached… Now that her exploits are catching on with the imagination and realisation of this nation… Some monetary rewards and incentives are fast forwarded as forms of recognition… The glory that accompanies each golden achievement is well deserved and hard earned… The golden sheen that comes atop a winner’s medal, represents genuine sweat and the tears.. The long and lonely hours working out on the track, only a dedicated coach will know …. How hungrily a dedicated athlete train in order to excel in any chosen event and show.. For para athletes like Felicia Mikat, they have often been overlooked for far too long… It is time the community awakes and acknowledges the para athletes all over the world… For a visually impaired athlete such Felicia, you can say blind ambitions pushed her to succeed… As with the other para athletes, forget not that perseverance and dedication too must take the lead.. http://www.theantdaily.com/Main/The-blind-ambition-of-a-Sabahan-teenager-well-done-girl
