I am so obsessed with Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson, but not for the reasons you think. Sure, she won a gold medal in the beijing Olympics and took home the trophy her first go-around on Dancing with the Stars, but it's her efforts to keep striving for more that kept me cheering in her corner. She went through a tough year battling a career-ending injury that kept her bid for the London Olympics out of reach, and then had to deal with a stalker and would-be kidnapper (yeah, just an average day, right?!). Through it all she kept going, kept pushing, and did it all with a smile on her face. Let's hear it for a year of courage and fighting back. And that's why I'm so glad that Shawn decided to open up her personal photo album exclusively for us with never-before-seen photos.
