Education is paramount in light of so many things that are out there.
From Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce
I remember running at school sports day, and I would win everything, but I wasn't a super athlete or a superstar at high school.
I was just a normal athlete. My mother tried to spark something in me. She was an athlete in high school before she got pregnant with my older brother. She was 16, and that was it for her when it came to track and her education.
My ambition is to sit behind a desk and work.
We need our children in Jamaica - especially those suffering with dyslexia, autism, cerebral palsy - to get more attention.
I definitely believe our coaches are now leading more and learning more. They are hungry in terms of getting the athletes to improve. I believe it's now more mental than anything else, and I'd like to assist in that area.
A master's is a lot more work than my first degree, but I'm an athlete who knows what she wants. I made up my mind, and I'm determined that this is what I'm going to do.
When they announce who I am and what I've achieved, I still pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming.
I'm getting tired of 10.7s. I just want to put a good race together, and hopefully in the next race, I get the time I'm working for. I definitely think a 10.6 is there. Hopefully I will get it together.
My message always is: No matter where you are from, no matter what past you have, it is all about your future and your goals.
