Believe in Yourself
Cox is a girl with a dream and wishes to do it, but she was afraid at the beginning, but also she was believing in herself and trying to support herself and make her more confident. Also her crew were believing in her and supporting her and giving her advice to make her reach her goal. She faced many problems, but she proceeded. She knew her body very well and knew that if she does this what will happen - the water she was swimming in was so cold that she couldn't feel her skin. At the end after she made her dream come true she was really proud of herself and also her team were the same. This is really a good inspiration to follow because she really faced hard problems while swimming but she pretended not to see them because she was looking forward to her dream that was coming true.
