I wear makeup pretty much every day. For training, I usually do a lighter base, a lighter blush and I used the mascara and a little bit of the lip gloss.

I wanted to finish on a stronger note. Fighting through that routine, you know what I was like, 'I'm just fighting through.'

I would love to be a role model.

It's kind of a win-win situation. The glory goes up to Him and the blessings fall down on me.

I wanted to tell my story and where I came from and my background, because it was not easy.

Gymnastics does take great focus and concentration. What I do is look to my coach. He keeps me focused. And I meditate to get myself confident before the competition floor. That helps keep me focused, too.

Always be courageous and strong, & don't fear. You've got to be confident when you're competing. You've got to be a beast.
