The greatest finish line for me was finishing college - it was a pact I made with my mother, during a time when she fell ill. That happened during my Freshman year, and unfortunately she never saw me compete in the Olympics. But she really wanted me to finish college, because she never finished Junior High.

All I ever wanted really, and continue to want out of life, is to give 100 percent to whatever I'm doing and to be committed to whatever I'm doing and then let the results speak for themselves. Also to never take myself or people for granted and always be thankful and grateful to the people who helped me.

The rewards are going to come, but my happiness is just loving the sport and having fun performing.

Once I leave this earth, I know I've done something that will continue to help others.

I don't have to be enemies with someone to be competitors with them.

The 2012 London Olympic Games fostered a generation of hope. I witnessed women participating for the very first time, representing every nation.

Even if the person doesn't know what the internet can do, we can bring it to them and show how it can make a difference in their lives.
