Even At 10 Or 12, I Was

I Was Diagnosed With Asthma When I Was 18 During My Freshman Year At Ucla. I Refused To Accept It - And I Hid It From My Coaches And Teammates. But Ignoring My Problem Didn't Make It Go Away.

I'm Not Shy. I'm Modest, But I'm Very Outgoing.

I'm Always Challenged By Someone.

It Is Better To Look Ahead And Prepare Than To Look Back And Regret.

It Wasn't Until I Was 14 And Watched The 1976 Olympic Games On Television That I Really Started To Dream About The Big Time. I Remember Seeing Evelyn Ashford In The 100 Meters, And She Was Going To Ucla.
