I Didn't Get Nervous When I Ran,

Looking Back, I'm So Proud To Have Gone To Five Olympics - I Believe Only Three Other Americans Have Achieved That.

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.

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 Was Blessed With A Long Career Where I Won Gold Medals For Myself And My Country. Nothing Stands Out As A Disappointment.
