My mother introduced me to many different things, and figure skating was one of them. I just thought that it was magical having to glide across the ice.

The Olympics: not one of my better memories.

I wanted to be a doctor since I was five.

But I like it when my patients are impressed not knowing that I was an Olympian.

I was always very strong in math, physics and calculus.

I begged my mom to let me start skating.

My advice is that going to the Olympics and winning a gold medal are great goals, but the real goal should be to be the best that you can be.
