A woman of sixty four years was able to swim from Cuba to Florida. A total of a hundred and three miles. She didn't give up on her dream to reach the United States. She started trying to make the trip to Florida when she was twenty. I honestly think this is a very inspirational event because what she said, that we should never give up and well so on. It really got me thinking.
