I find motivation within myself. I run track not from a competitive Nature, but because I'm a very goal-oriented person.

In my race, theres 10 hurdles, but in life, there is always a hurdle. There is always something you gotta get over, and its what you do, you know.

Remember, all things are possible to those who believe!

It's not what other people believe you can do, it's what you believe.

You can never give up or get down on yourself. A true champion keeps his or her chin up and always takes life one race at a time.

I have a real passion for children. I always wanted to teach and only became an athlete because my parents told my brother Parenthesis and me that we should use any God-given talent we had.

People see me now and ask if I'm still running. I may look like I am, but I'm really not. People think I still run every day but I ran for 25 years and I deserve to not do anything but walk or ride the bike with my kids.
