Shawn Johnson
We are going to be hearing a lot about this young woman. She's a national treasure! I mean at the TOP. Her equal is Lance Armstrong in accomplishment and focus.
No, she's not a popstar. Nor an actress. She doesn't even have a talk show. But she is an incredible inspiration and role model for our teen girls when they need it the most.
From just down the street at Valley High School in West Des Moines, Iowa, Shawn Johnson is the U.S.A. National Champion in gymnastics.
