Jolynn Owens - Week 9 Journal Entry lyrics

10/7 Playing for Team USA this year is the final chapter of a long and emotional road for Seimone Augustus. After winning an Olympic gold medal with Team USA in 2008, she was hit hard with a string of injuries and surgeries that made her too out of shape and unhealthy to make the team in 2010. She came back with fire in 2011 leading the Minnesota Lynx to their first ever WNBA championship and being named the Finals MVP.The 6'0 guard went from being unfit to play for Team USA in 2010 to being a no-brainer addition to the team in 2012. Picking up her second gold medal for Team USA would complete that road to redemption for her. 10/8 I read about a little girl getting beaten by her boyfriend . She loved him alot and she didnt want to tell anyone about it . So she kept it to herself . Finally one day her best friend seen it happen . 10/9 I read abotu a girl playing basketball through high school.And she ended up getting a full basketball scholarship. She went to her favorite college that she had always wanted to go when she was a little girl . Right when college basketball started the first game she tore her ACL . 10/11 Last week, the United States' Simone Biles won the all-around title at the World Championships in Antwerp, Belgium, an astonishing achievement for anyone. The fact that Biles is the first black woman to do so is one component of the story, and it's now become a prominent one.
