      The reality is that it might happen again and that's okay. Each time she will stretch and grow, until she gets to the point where it no longer happens. We like to think of success as overnight because often that is all we see, but successful people work hard when there's no one watching. It's the result of that persistence that we see.

    Congratulations, Adaejah. As you move up to higher heights, don't forget to put God first. You are simply awesome. Pushing up my chest with pride saying "I know Adaejah". She is one of ours. @BVIslanderscandoanything.

    Well done Adaejah. keep up the good work. I would like her to enquire if it is safe to use vitamin B12 to boost her stamina in the races without causing any controversy with performance enhancing drug. That will give her much energy to win her opponents.
