Childhood
When Lolo Jones was in high school, she told her mom she couldn't move to a city that has no track because she was trying to persuade her dream. Her teachers at Theodore Roosevelt high school helped her pick the right classes for college and they made a community to help her. The Salvation Army when she was in middle school, helped her family by giving them a place to stay in the basement of the church. Lolo Jones would always wake up early and make it look like someone dropped her off there so that the other kids wouldn't make fun of her. In the year 2004, Lolo jones wanted to retire from track after she didn't qualify for the Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece but Shaver told her that he would see her tomorrow morning for practice.
Learner Proflies
The first learner profile I would say she is, is a risk-taker because when she runs she knows that she can accidently hurt herself badly. The other learner profile is caring because she donated shoes to a school because she knew how it was like growing up without being able to afford shoes.
