His collection of Olympic medals is incredibly impressive, but what impresses me the most is his story as I've heard it. Shortly after the 2012 Summer Olympics, Phelps got into trouble and found himself in some tough situations. The media reported how far he had fallen. Tonight, I watched him compete in his swimming events, a reformed man. He is, once again, the champion people knew from 2012.
This is just a high-profile example of how people can change for the better, how people can become their very best and recover from great setbacks. I am grateful for such human examples.
