Diana Nyad swimming to her death?

               A 61 year old woman by the name of Diana Nyad, who is a swimmer attempted to swim from Cuba to Florida. She took a tremendous risk swimming in the ocean which is full of dangerous sea creatures that could kill her. The distance from Cuba to Florida is a great distance and she was willing to pursue her dreams. 
               There was a boat that would follow her and a doctor that would keep tabs on her to make sure she was okay. One day she had gotten pain her shoulder and her asthma was acting up. She had to discontinue her strenuous journey since she could no longer swim without dying. She wanted to keep swimming, but she just couldn't anymore.
              She did this because she wanted to show people that you can pursue your dreams no matter how crazy and big they are like swimming across the ocean. It is important to dream big and pursue them and go after them with all you have. She's an inspiring woman and she has inspired me that anything is possible.
