Albright retired from competitive skating after the 1956 season. Unlike most elite-level skaters, she never skated professionally. A graduate of The Winsor School in Boston, she had entered Radcliffe College in 1953 as a pre-med student, and after her Olympic triumph she focused on completing her education. Albright graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1961, and went on to become a surgeon. Her interest in medicine was spurred by being hospitalized for an attack of polio as a child.[citation needed] Founded in 1886, The Winsor School is a girls college prep school for day students in grades 5-12. ...

Whatever you do, if you do it the best you can, has a relation to whatever else you do.
- If you don't fall down, you aren't trying hard enough.
- I would bet you that most people who have succeeded, even though they had an idea of what they wanted to do, didn't just say, "I want to be..." and then name a title, or say "happy" or something like that. I bet it's because they loved what they were doing.
