I'm An Athlete Who's Very

I Majored In Elementary Education, And I Have A Passion For Kids.

My Speed Is A Gift From God, And I Run For His Glory. Whatever I Do, It All Comes From Him.

My Mom Always Has This Amazing Ability To Always See The Best In A Situation. In That Moment [when Finished 2nd In The 200 Meter Race In The 2008 Olympic Games] I Was Just Completely Devastated. I Mean, I Had Worked So Hard; That Was My Opportunity. And She 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. She's Just An Amazing Supporter And An Encouraging Person And She Has A Unique Ability To Do That. And So Those Are The Kind Of Things She Said To Me In That Moment And Over The Next Four Years. When Things Get Tough, She's Always Been My Strength.

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.

I Try To Think About My Goals. I Think About My Competitors-i Know They're Working Hard, And If They Are, I Have To Work Hard Too. I Have To Be One Step Ahead Of Them.
