So I went for engineering, specifically product design, which I enjoyed.

I watch a lot of professional skating, and I am really looking forward to going to nationals.

My skating is a very emotional thing that comes from the heart, never doing it for the medal.

I begged my mom to let me start skating.

I got a bronze medal and I can't complain about that, the only African-American to get a medal in the Winter Olympics.

I just thought that it was magical having to glide across the ice.

Figure skating was a pretty individual sport. I've grown up a lot since those days and enjoy being part of a team now. Being a doctor is about working with nurses, therapists, anesthesiologists, and I've learned more about team play being a doctor than when I was in sports.
