Through an Olympian’s Eyes

Jennifer Martin seems like an average fifteen year old girl, dealing with family, school, relationships, and love. However, she is also a renowned figure skater, who has always dreamed of competing in the Olympics. In February 2006, after Michelle Kwan suffers a groin injury, that dream begins to surface. The United States Figure Skating Association (USFSA) asks Jen to come to Torino, Italy to compete in Sasha Cohen's place if she suffers an injury. While Jen is in Torino, surrounded by her family and friends, she is given permission to compete in the Olympics in order to get an experience of what it's like to compete in the Olympics, which could help prepare her for the 2010 Winter Olympics. But will she actually get the chance? And if she does, how good of a performance will she give? Throughout this entire story, Jen learns that anything is possible and that dreams really can come true.
