If so, you should read the book Running For My Life by Lopez Lomong, based on a true story. Lopez’s first time on a plane he thought he had to pay for his food so he starved for three to four hours until a flight attendant told him the food was free. Lopez is a weird guy; he runs barefoot. His first day in a real house he didn’t want to use the bathroom in a BIG CLEAN house, so he asked if he could use the bathroom outside, with the dog. He also did not know how turn off the chandelier in his room, so he slept with the light on all night. I was so shocked that he actually made it to America. He was one out of 1,000 people to get a spot to go to America from the refugee camp, in South Africa. I would recommend this book to everyone since it was a true story and kept me interested while I was reading it.

HTML: Running for My Life is not a story about Africa or track and field athletics. It is about outrunning the devil and achieving the impossible faith, diligence, and the desire to give back. It is the American dream come true and a stark reminder that saving one can help to save thousands more. Lopez Lomong chronicles his inspiring ascent from a barefoot lost boy of the Sudanese Civil War to a Nike sponsored athlete on the US Olympic Team. Though most of us fall somewhere between the catastrophic lows and dizzying highs of Lomong's incredible life, every reader will find in his story the human spark to pursue dreams that might seem unthinkable, even from circumstances that might appear hopeless. "Lopez Lomong's story is one of true inspiration. His life is a story of courage, hard work, never giving up, and having hope where there is hopelessness all around. Lopez is a true role model." ?MICHAEL JOHNSON, Olympic Gold Medalist "This true story of a Sudanese child refugee who became an Olympic star is powerful proof that God gives hope to the hopeless and shines a light in the darkest places. Don't be surprised if after reading this incredible tale, you find yourself mysteriously drawn to run alongside him." ?RICHARD STEARNS, president, World Vision US and author of THe Hole in Our Gospel .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
