I grew up in Jamaica in the district of Burnt Savannah, St. Elizabeth, between Lacovia and Mountainside. That's about a twenty-minute drive from Santa Cruz, St. Elizabeth. Life was tough for me as a child. While we lived in poverty, my parents did the best they could for my siblings and me. I was often called names and ridiculed. Join me as I journey from the rocky playgrounds of Burnt Savannah to Boys Champs, Carifta Games, NCAA. The Olympic Games and winning a Commonwealth Games Gold medal.
My experiences traveling the world will tell you how I finally realized that true happiness is not all about winning medals or accomplishing your goals. In pursuing athletic supremacy, I came to realize that it did not provide the satisfaction I envisioned. I finally understood that fame from athletic pursuit only left me wanting and empty at times. In the end, on the hills of the Acropolis, Athens, Greece. I finally discovered the truth about happiness.
