My name is Jubilation Lee. My parents were immigrants and when I was born here they were so happy with their life in this country that they named me Jubilation.
Everyone calls me Jubilee, I guess cause I'm always energetic and happy all the time. I learned the hard way that life is meant to be fun, not boring.
I never thought I'd see an Olypmic stadium, let alone standing on the podium. The opening ceremony was awesome, and the practice...
I've never worked harder for anything in my life. I mean that.
In 2006 I was training for the Worlds in 2007, and then Beijing in 2008. Some guys invaded our home and shot up the place. I was too badly hurt to train, let alone compete.
I thought this would be my only chance. I didn't place in 2010 or 2011 and I wasn't even sure I'd qualify for the US team this year. I knew if I didn't I'd probably be unable to qualify for Rio in four years. And now maybe I'm thinking I might still have it in me.
I pushed myself and I sweated and I hurt and now I'm here and I know my parents are watching me from heaven and smiling.
