Student Testimony<br />
"The program Ready, Set, Gold! is a great<br />
and amazing program for our school. The<br />
program has encourages me to push<br />
myself to be more active. It inspires me to<br />
live a more and healthy lifestyle. The<br />
program improves my mindset on health. I<br />
run fast, but the program pushes me to set<br />
no limits.<br />
Before the program, I limit myself such as<br />
doing push-ups. Through practices and<br />
exercising at school with my friends, I can<br />
do more push-ups than I possibly could<br />
imagine. Ready, Set, Gold improves my<br />
endurance. I pace myself now. I know I<br />
can run fast, but now I know I can run fast<br />
and long distance. I love the feelings of<br />
the accomplishments.<br />
Having Valerie Brisco at Castelar<br />
Elementary School is quite inspirational. I<br />
feel energetic thinking of a famous<br />
Olympian runner at the school. Valerie<br />
Brisco’s life was inspirational. She<br />
inspired me to be active. Her story<br />
motivates me the most. Her hard work<br />
through trials in her life is very<br />
encouraging. Furthermore, Valerie’s life<br />
taught me to never limit myself and that I<br />
could do anything if I set my heart and<br />
mind. Valerie Brisco helped our students<br />
get into shape that would last us a lifetime.<br />
She’s terrific!!! Because of her, I have a<br />
goal. My goal is to run 5 miles every day<br />
to improve my time as well as for my<br />
health."<br />
Castelar Elementary<br />
Winner: Raymond!<br />
Teacher Testimony<br />
"Raymond was chosen because of his<br />
humble determination to become better.<br />
Raymond started out running his mile at a<br />
good speed, better than most of the other<br />
kids. He was never satisfied with the times<br />
he got. He felt that there was always<br />
something he could do to make his mile<br />
times better. Every day he pushed and<br />
pushed himself and the improvement and<br />
determination began to show. His mile time<br />
is now under seven minutes which is<br />
outstanding compared to his peers. And<br />
even though he is now the fastest kid, he is<br />
very humble about his success and<br />
encourages his classmates to work just as<br />
hard as he did. He is a very good leader,<br />
and a perfect role model for other kids who<br />
wish to be better."<br />
- Mrs. Quach (5th Grade Teacher)
