Danica Patrick has won the pole position for the Daytona 500 this Sunday. She is not only the most famous female driver in the world, but probably the only one most people can name. She stands alone among a male-dominated sport. Ask yourself, and ask your team: How does her life reflect the Code? We think her life reflects many aspects of the Code, so there are many positive answers. However, the challenge of standing alone is a challenge we all face at various times in our lives. It may be in standing up for a person others shun, or going against positions that friends hold, or working for a goal that no one else cares about. What are the ways in which you have been challenged to stand alone? What are some of the ways in which you are challenged now? The Code says: I will display caring and honorable behavior off the field and be a positive influence in my community and world.
