My mom used to tell me when I was little, 'When it rains, it's God's manifestation - a big day's waiting to happen.'

I wrote the book 'Grace, Gold & Glory' because I had to overcome many challenges and hardships. I wanted to share my story to let anyone facing hardships know that your dream is still possible.

Gold medals are made out of sweat, blood and tears and effort in the gym every day.

I'd tell any girl who continues to love gymnastics enough to want pursue a college scholarship to keep pushing yourself 100% in the gym every single day.

I think I would go for a Michael Phelps kind of guy.

I'm a very good bowler, which I discovered a few months ago.

I blast "Northern Sky," by the Capital Kings, on the way there, but at the gym, I totally zone out.
