NCAA All-American and ACC Champion Amina Smith **will** represent the United States in the 2016 Olympic Games. Amina shares with us the importance of seeing what it is you want - and communicating that vision even when it's scary, even when things are overwhelming, and even when you don't know how others will respond. Amina shows us how communicating her vision has helped her build the resources she needed to turn her dreams into realities.
