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.

I wanted to be a doctor since I was five.

I tell people I'm too stupid to know what's impossible. I have ridiculously large dreams, and half the time they come true.

I've got this thing with skating and school - to see how much I can accomplish.

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

Being an Olympian, I always have this strong belief in excellence.

For as long as I can really remember, I wanted to be a doctor.
