Jackie Joyner-Kersee

For Hannah's Reading/English class they did a research project one someone that contributed to the world.  She chose Jackie Joyner-Kersee. She was born into a poor family. She went onto college and actually got a scholarship for basketball but wanted to try track. Ended up running track in college and went onto the Olympics. She received 6 Olympic medals. Hannah had to dress like her, the speech had to be 3-5 minutes. It was a huge part of her overall grade for this class.
