Daughter of Marines Graces Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue
AUSTIN, Texas — With parents who met while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, Hannah Ferguson seemed destined for a life in uniform.
Instead, the girl from rural Texas ended up as a model who is one of the featured rookies in the iconic Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue that will be released on Tuesday.
"My Dad has Sports Illustrated calendars in his shop. I would always flip through them and look at them and daydream about one day being able to do that. I never thought it would come true," she told Reuters in a telephone interview.

"My parents have been really supportive. Some people have asked, 'It is swimwear and you are showing a lot of skin. How do they feel about that?'
"They are happy that I am chasing my dream."

I love when people chase their dreams and reach them. It's very heartwarming.
Good for her.
