Proud : living my American dream / by Muhammad, Ibtihaj,1985-author.(CARDINAL)415429;
"At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Ibtihaj Muhammad smashed barriers as the first American to compete wearing hijab, and made history as the first Muslim-American woman to medal. But it wasn't an easy road--in a sport most popular among wealthy white people, Ibtihaj often felt out of place. Ibtihaj was fast, hardworking, and devoted to her faith, but rivals and teammates (as well as coaches and officials) pointed out her differences, insisting she would never succeed. Yet Ibtihaj powered on. Her inspiring journey from a young outsider to an Olympic hero is a relatable, memorable, and uniquely American tale of hard work, determination, and self-reliance." -- AmazonGrowing up -- Work for the win -- Not the sport for me -- A team to call my own -- Ready to roar -- Fencing stronger, climbing higher -- College life -- Surviving the "real world" -- Take up the challenge -- Embrace the pressure -- Never give up -- Dream big -- Build a team -- Follow your passion -- Dreams can come true -- Share your truth -- Olympic glory.Ages: 8-12.960LAccelerated Reader AR
