Whenever faced with a challenge, I dig deep within myself and summon my spiritual and physical forces. This gives me the focus, determination, perseverance, and support I need to succeed.

I always said a prayer before I ran, and my prayer was to win. My prayer was that God would allow me to run my best on that day, or better than my best. So whatever the outcome is, I have to be satisfied with it if I know I gave it my best effort.

You have to find that love within yourself. If you love yourself, you feel good about yourself, and sports help you feel good about yourself.

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.

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.

My grandma passed away at 98 1/2 and I want to live to 100. I want to be able to do what I can do even at 100.

Remember, all things are possible to those who believe!
