It Doesn't Matter What You're Trying To

I Had A Series Of Childhood Illnesses... Scarlet Fever.... Pneumonia.... Polio. I Walked With Braces Until I Was At Least Nine Years Old. My Life Wasn't Like The Average Person Who Grew Up And Decided To Enter The World Of Sports.

I Would Be Disappointed If I Were Remembered As A Runner Because I Feelthat My Contribution To The Youth Of America Has Far Exceeded The Woman Who Was The Olympic Champion.

Never Underestimate The Power Of Dreams And The Influence Of The Human Spirit. We Are All The Same In This Notion: The Potential For Greatness Lives Within Each Of Us.

Sometimes It Takes Years To Really Grasp What Has Happened To Your Life.

My Doctor Told Me I Would Never Walk Again. My Mother Told Me I Would. I Believed My Mother.
