My father was an all-American football player.
I wanted to go to medical school. But, I never got a college scholarship.
There are so many people afraid of a task. They get so overwhelmed by the obstacles in front of them that they shy away from reaching beyond a position of safety.
Both parents supported my becoming a world class athlete.
My father was also a principal of a school and mother was a curriculum advisor. Both were educators.
I went to Moorehouse College. There was no track and field there.
