When Team Canada figure skater Madeline Schizas got to Milano Cortina for the Winter Olympic Games, she had skating on the brain. The 22-year-old skater is also a college student, balancing training and schoolwork. Most of the time, that’s not a problem. Maybe it was the jetlag or all that skating, but Madeline found herself in a bit of a pickle and had to email one of her professors for an extension on an assignment. Madeline did what any good student would do: she posted about it on social media, and the crowds went wild. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Female Quotient® (@femalequotient) People Became Invested in Madeline Schizas’ Homework Dilemma “Of all the reasons to ask for an extension on an assignment, this is a pretty good one. Canadian figure skater Maddie Schizas posts her email to her prof, asking for an extension. Because she’s competing at the Olympics. Attached the press release for proof of participation,” Devin Heroux shared on X. Female Quotient posted on Instagram that Madeline Schizas got the extension. “’Since it seems everyone was quite invested, I did get my extension lol,’ she said. ‘I can’t believe anyone cared so much.’” Her professor went big and created an Instagram account just to post a photo of himself watching her and commenting on her performance, “So proud of you Maddie.” “Competing at the Olympics while finishing a degree and her professor made an Instagram to cheer her on. That’s the kind of support that changes everything,” someone wrote. “Support comes in the smallest of forms,” another person agreed. “Seriously though having to worry about homework can undo a whole mindset… This teacher is THE best!!!” Another teacher gave their perspective on Madeline Schizas’ situation. “I am this kind of teacher. My student had her first job Interview at the same time of an oral exam. I rescheduled her exam… And she got the job! I feel so accomplished,” they wrote.

Even the most weathered and bent aspects of your life are seen as valuable by God, capable of being restored and repurposed for His good works. You are God's handiwork, and nothing in your past is wasted.

Winter mornings may be dark, but we are children of the Light. Let every sunrise remind you: darkness is not the end of the story.

May we have the same bold faith and interactions with Jesus as those who saw Him face-to-face, for in doing so, our prayers in faith will yield results above and beyond what we hoped or imagined.
