Summary: is she a Champion
Comment: Marion Jones was a good kid she grow up with a loving family and didn't get in to trouble often well she never did. Marion was a good student and would all way do her homework when she got home from school.
Marion Jones and her struggles with life and her accomplishments in the life. She had some hard ones and some that she will remember for the rest of her life. At the age of 5 she was all ways a good student in school. She would get A's all the time I think there was onetime that she had a b in one of her classes but other than that was it. In little leage she was beating evey body that she was running a genst was getting beat. She was really fast at that age . she was the bst on her tram then and I think that she was the best one on every team that she was on. At the age of 13 she was able to touch the rim at 10 feet. At the age of 14 she was dunking at a regular 10 feet hoop. She would start all of the games that she played. She was a runner in school to but she wasn't that good back then. The kept on practicing every day.
She got a scholarship to play in college to the North Carolina Tar Heels. And she gladly excepted it. She didn't start every game until her 2nd year there and then started to start every game. She was really good at basketball at the time was she playing. She was the best player on the team and there was like 30 people on the team at that point. She was the starter for point gard. That Is the best place to play I think it is any way. Some of the people said that she had the sweetest jump shot of all the player on the team. She only dunk one time at the game but it was during worm up so I didn't count but it was still impressive. It was cool because the people in the crowed was like (WOW)But that game that she had wasn't one of her best games she only got 20 point that night. Her all time heights point in a game was 45 points. So fare that has been the most on that team that any player for girls team had ever got.
She didn't finish college because she got a chance to go running for free with the best instructor so she could run. She all ways wonted to run and now was her chance to do it so she decided to take a chance. So she did and its paying off for her. Latte on she was working with her coach and they started talking and they started go to dinner. Then they started going out to dinner and then after a while he proposed to her. That all i have to say with out giveing the book away.
