Student Testimony<br />

"Katy Sullivan and Ready Set Go have really<br />

showed me that physical fitness is more than<br />

having fun and playing your favorite sport.<br />

It’s about you knowing that when you grow<br />

up it’s important to have a healthy lifestyle.<br />

When I grow up I want to be fit and healthy<br />

like Katy.<br />

When I first saw Katy she told me that she<br />

was born without the lower halves of her legs.<br />

So that meant she used prosthetics most of<br />

her life and still she did things she really<br />

wanted to do. That made me think even<br />

though she had a disability she didn’t let<br />

anybody tell her she couldn’t do the things<br />

normal kids could do, and that inspired me to<br />

dream big! When she came to my school she<br />

taught us how to run properly, how to do curl<br />

ups and pushups. It was hard at first but after<br />

I tried, and tried, and tried again, I actually did<br />

those exercises pretty well.<br />

A few weeks later my class had to practice for<br />

the 1 mile run that we were going to take<br />

almost at the end of the year. When I was<br />

running at first it was easy but it got a little<br />

harder. I noticed that I wasn’t breathing<br />

properly, and I wasn’t doing what Katy said to<br />

do. After I got the hang of it and I completed<br />

the mile run. Katy’s advice helped me do well<br />

on the practice run and hopefully on the real<br />

one too.<br />

Teacher Testimony<br />

"She is a hardworking student.<br />

She plays fairly with everyone<br />

and has a great time. She does<br />

her best in everything and took<br />

initiative in PE and in practicing<br />

for the fitness test."<br />

Korenstein Elementary<br />

I am very thankful for Ready, Set Go!<br />

Because if it wasn’t for them Katy would have<br />

never come to our school. I feel like if I do<br />

well on the test I will definitely thank Katy for<br />

it. I do know that I have improved since Katy<br />

has been here. I will do my best on that test!"<br />
