When I First Turned Elite In Gymnastics,

The Majority Of The Things That I Do, I'm Actually Afraid To Do, But You Just Have To Have A Positive Attitude And Block Out Any Fears That You Have.

I Just Stay Focused, And I Always Think About Gymnastics. I Am Just Doing What I Always Do... Working Really Hard And Pushing Myself To The Maximum And Keeping Myself Motivated.

I Was Two Years Old When My Mom Put Me In Mommy And Me Classes. I Always Had A Lot Of Energy So It Was The Perfect Fit!

My School Friends Are Really Understanding And Still Want To Hang Out With Me. Ever Since I Was In Sixth Grade, I Was At The Gym Every Day To Work Out While My Friends Were Getting Their Nails Done Or Going To The Mall. I Used To Feel Left Out, But I Don't Anymore.

I Was Always Really Inspired By Watching The Older Girls Competing, Just Seeing Other Olympians Do Great Things, And I Just Really Wanted To Be A Part Of That Whole Experience. And To Be Able To Represent Usa Was Always A Goal Of Mine.
