I heard that Shawn Johnson's parents had to mortgage their house twice just so she could continue training for gymnastics. We never heard of any financial struggle on the part of her greatest rival, Nastia Liukin.
Nastia did not have to enrol in a program so she can develop her talent or interest in gymnastics. She didn't need to be on a scholarship, either, just so she could fulfill her dreams. No camps, no grants, no fees going to the trainer. Her father is the gym.
About TVmomma:
I created this blog a few years back when I used to watch television 14 hours a day. I was getting highly-opinionated with what I see on TV and I wanted to spare my husband from my rantings so I thought of blogging about them instead.
I have called TV as my amusement park -- right in my own home. But now, things have changed and my TV viewing has been limited. I still post on this blog but only when I felt so strongly about what I've seen, and when I have the time.
For reprint and for anything else, please leave a message on the comment area. Thank you.
