Find something you love, push yourself, and embrace what makes you different. That’s just some of the advice that U.S. Olympic gymnast Suni Lee shared with hundreds of students when she made a surprise appearance at a back-to-school event in her hometown of Saint Paul, Minnesota.
The gold medalist joined Amazon for the event at Battle Creek Elementary School, her alma mater, where Amazon made a $50,000 donation of school supplies and outdoor learning materials.
