No matter what your age, sex, or disposition, you really can accomplish whatever you want if you are willing to put in the work and effort.
It may sound a little corny, but age really is just a number — and once you believe it and give whatever your goals may be a shot, you might realize that you have been underestimating yourself for a long time.
Just take a look at Alison Jiear, the 50-year-old woman who always worked as a backup singer…until she decided to go after what she wanted, to be the one in the spotlight, and won over the judges on Britain's Got Talent. Her determination and years of perfecting her vocals paid off in a big way.
Other people face the challenge of proving stereotypes wrong when they go after their dreams, like the talented female musicians who were told that women didn't belong in music…a misconception that was promptly changed once they played their first show.
Now 73 years old, Frank Hernandez can add himself to the list of people who have followed their dreams, even when facing a stereotype.
While many would say that Frank is too old to be rollerblading, when you see Frank let loose in the skatepark, it is clear that he has a real talent and passion for the sport. Taking a fall as well as the rest of them — and getting right back up — Frank continues to prove why the old "age is just a number" saying is absolutely true.
