When I'm Older, I Want To Have

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.

If I Had Tried The Olympics Any Younger, I Wouldn't Have Been As Prepared As I Am Right Now. But There Are Definitely A Ton Of Juniors Out There, All Around The World And In The Usa, That If There Was No Age Limit, They Could Definitely Make The Olympic Team.

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.

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 Think Imperfection Is Beauty. Instead Of Being Insecure About My Muscles, I've Learned To Love Them. I Don't Even Think Of It As A Flaw Anymore Because It's Made Me Into The Athlete That I Am.
