I've had asthma my entire life.

I was diagnosed with asthma when I was 18 during my freshman year at UCLA. I refused to accept it - and I hid it from my coaches and teammates. But ignoring my problem didn't make it go away.

There are many women who came before me who didn't really have the same opportunities that I have had. That's why I always wanted to be a great ambassador - not only today's generation - but for the women who really didn't have a voice, but who paved the way for me.

I might attempt Zumba. I haven't yet, but I thought it would be a lot of fun and different.

The only person who can stop you from reaching your goals is you.

I learned to listen and listen very well. It helped me athletically and in the classroom as well.

I set my sights on making an Olympic team, not realizing how tough it was going to be.
