Stay Strong. Stand Up. Have A Voice.

I Think About My Goals. There Were A Lot Of Times In Gymnastics When I Really Didn't Want To Go In And Train, But You Can't Make It To The Olympics If You Don't Train!

It Might Have Been Easier To Retire, To Say My Knee Couldn't Handle It And Let That Be That. At The Same Time, The Prospect Of Not Being Able To Compete In Gymnastics Anymore Was Heartbreaking.

I Was Always Trying To Be Leaner And Thinner To Fit The Standard And The Mold.

It's Been Strange And Weird Watching The Other Girls At The U.s. Olympic Trials Just Because I Was Training To Be Out There Myself.

It Sounds Funny, But The 2008 Olympics Were Something That Just Kind Of Happened, And I Was Lucky They Came At A Point When I Was Uninjured And Well Prepared. As A Gymnast, You Can't Ask For Much More.
