For Me, It's Really Important To Be

I Had Worked So Hard; That Was My Opportunity. And My Mom Was Just Able To Turn It Around For Me. She Helped Me To Be Able To See The Other Side Of Things And That This Is Not The End For Me.

It Was All Kind Of A Whirlwind At The Beginning. I Didn't Really Realize That I Had A Special Gift From God. It Was Probably Towards The End Of High School In My Senior Year When Things Really Started To Come Together And I Realized That I Had More Potential And That I Could Do This As A Career And That The Olympics Were A Possibility.

Everyone Sees The Glory Moments, But They Don't See What Happens Behind The Scenes.

I Know That They [jackie Joyner-kersee, Florence Griffith-joyner And Even Wilma Rudolph] Have Paved The Way And They Have Been A Source Of Inspiration.

I Spend Around Two And Half Hours On The Track Every Day Running And Another 2 Hours In The Weight Room Lifting Weights With My Strength Coach.
