John Orozco: A True American Inspiration

This is ThE_WaY
John Orozco's journey to London was not paved in gold like some of his fellow Olympians.  Just two years ago his was all too uncertain.  When he was getting ready for the 2010 US National Visa Championships, he received an unnerving phone call from his mother.  Your dad had a stroke, his mom said and was rushed to the hospital.  This is the worse news the young athlete could have heard.  Right before his biggest competition to date.  Being between a rock and a hard place John decided his place was by his fathers side.  So with his mind made up he called back home to tell his folks he was on his way, but on the other end of the phone he heard his dad voice saying I'll be fine son, go do what you were born and have trained to do.
