My mom always has this amazing ability to always see the best in a situation.

It was all kind of a whirlwind at the beginning. I didn't really realize that I had a special gift from God. It was probably towards the end of high school in my senior year when things really started to come together and I realized that I had more potential and that I could do this as a career and that the Olympics were a possibility.

I can be a voice. I can use my platform to help the younger generation. I think it's really important for them to understand how to do things the right way, and not just in sports, in life in general.

Everyone sees the glory moments, but they don't see what happens behind the scenes.

As you get older, there are going to be a few more challenges, but thankfully I'm still feeling good.
