16 year old girl adventuress circumnavigate round the world solo!

How noble of Jessica Watson, 16, 3 days shy of her 17th birthday, to circumnavigate round the world nonstop w/o assist from anyone (except, of course, from her shore crew). Her parents must be beaming with pride! They must be overjoyed, over the moon to see her back after 8 months out at sea (although they flew over once or twice) when she reached a milestone. She is now one of the youngest to circumnavigate the world, nonstop. In order to navigate the ship solo, she needs experience. And boy! was she racking up in experience! Now, kids and especially girls can have something to look up to. They needn't look up to Miley Cyrus (whose scandal-ridden and she's not even old enough to vote!), Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears, Christina Aguilera, and a whole slew of bad role models, not good role model quality. Now, we got a true role model-Jessica Watson-who wants to do something she wants to be recognized for, that has some sort of meaning.
