NEW PERSPECTIVE

New Perspective introduces the testimony section of my first work, Calendars of Creation.

EMOJ: How old were you when you realized that

you had a talent for running track?

BIANCA: I was 12 years old when I first realized

it.

EMOJ: At what point did you compete nationally

and internationally?

BIANCA: I began competing nationally at the age

of 12, and internationally at age 15.

EMOJ: Tell me about the kind of rigorous training

you have had to endure through out the years

in order to be an Olympian Champion ?

BIANCA: I don't think people realize that there are

several other events to prepare for during the

Olympic years.

There is always something to prepare for like World In-

door Championships as well as World Outdoor Champi-

onships, which are held every other year. So we don't

necessarily train for the Olympics which comes every

four years, we train period. At the end of the day, you

have to make the Olympic team to become an Olympi-

an and that happens due to how much you discipline

yourself long before the time comes.

EMOJ: Where did you attend Elementary School, Mid-

dle School, and High School. Are you currently

enrolled in college?

BIANCA: I attended Pearl Lower Elementary, Pearl Up-

per Elementary, Pearl Jr. High, and Ridgeland High

School.

I am currently not enrolled in college due to the Olympics.

My regular season ended after school had already begun,

so I'll wait to take online classes in the spring at The Uni-

versity of Texas.

EMOJ: What are some of the competitions you won in high

school and college?

BIANCA: In high school I won competitions in the 100m,

200m, and 400m relays. I was the first Mississippi-

an to receive the title of “Garterade National

Girls Track and Field Athlete of the Year” in

2006 . At that time I was the only Missis-

sippian to win the award in either the

male or female category for any sport.

I also achieved the collegiate record time of

22.40, breaking Veronica Campbell Brown’s

collegiate record for 200m indoors.

(Later Bianca’s freshman year she turned professional.

One of her very first professional races was against Camp-

bell-Brown when Bianca defeated Campbell-Brown in the

Jamaican International Invitational. Bianca’s winning time

during that race was 22.62 seconds for the 200m. )

EMOJ: Can you tell us about some of the foreign coun-

tries you have travelled to?

BIANCA: I have traveled to countries such as the UK, Ger-

many and Jamaica. But the most beautiful country that I

have visited is Monaco, France.

EMOJ: Have you made many friends along your journey to

win Olympic Gold?

BIANCA: I have met a lot of associates along the way, but

none of which I'd consider to be a friend. I believe it takes

a while to build a friendship so I very seldom call people

my friend.

EMOJ: Do you have time for much of a social life?

BIANCA: Not really, but I have never really had a social

life. I've been involved in athletics since age 10 and it has

always been my priority. That and school, of course.

EMOJ: What advice would you give to someone who is

pursuing a dream?

EMOJ: What advice would you give to someone who is

pursuing a dream?

BIANACA: Never put a limit on what you can do, if it's in your

heart, go for it... The worst that can happen is you tried.

EMOJ: What are some of the competitions you have coming

up?

BIANCA: We are in the off season right now. There will be no

competitions on the professional level before January.

EMOJ: What are some of your future goals?

BIANCA: I would like to become an Olympian in an

individual event, preferably the 200 meters. And I

would like to be World Champion as well. I would

also like to finish undergrad and obtain a college

degree.

EMOJ: Is there any more information that you

would like to add?

BIANCA: Next year, 2013 and 2015 are World Championship

years, and I will be preparing for that , so the continued support

would be appreciated!

If you want one of the best car washes in town

you should stop by the car wash located at the

Citco Gas Station on the corner of State Street

and Sheppard Road.

“Mama” as she is affectionately called, started

the car wash about 3 years ago.

“I believe in old fashion car washes by hand”,

says Mama.

“It’s hard work”, but Mama says:

“When they go to a new job, they will know

what hard work is.”

Sometimes her former workers stop by to thank

her and to tell her that they appreciate the way

she would “get on them” because it made them

better workers.

“Boss Lady” as the guys sometimes call her, says

that she is there to steer them in the right direc-

tion.

Mama feels that she is like a mother to some of

the guys who don’t really have a mother figure in

there lives. “God sent them to me”.

Some of the guys who work at the car wash can’t

find jobs elsewhere. “A little more is better than

no money, it gives them some dignity.”
