Bonnie St. John, the first African-American to win Olympic medals in ski racing in downhill events at the 1984 Paralympics, captivated a packed ballroom at the Girls Scouts Annual Success to Significance luncheon last week. She is an accomplished speaker, trainer and author, who radiates enthusiasm and possibility. The story of her Olympic medal races provided insight for everyone. She was number one after her first run, and in sight of the finish line when she fell during her second run. The icy course had caused many racers to fall. Bonnie earned an Olympic medal by getting up and finishing the race. The gold medalist also fell, but got up more quickly.
